This glass painting, which comes alive in the morning sun, placed above the altar at the church, where Anna and I often worship is a master piece of art. The artist portrayed the emotions of each of the four persons in the painting. When art work takes us to the original scene poignantly, it is more than a piece of art- it is a message of great appeal.
Although we have different opinions about icons, paintings, plaques, portraits in places of worship, there are some truths in our spiritual journey, which can be sometimes best represented in these forms.
What moves me each time, as I watch this, is the humanity of Jesus. He suffered like any one of us. We live in a society that abhor suffering and exemplifies success.
As we kneel at the altar in prayer, Jesus is in communion with all of us who suffer in some way or other because of which we can return from our prayer time affirmed of His promised presence .
