Sacred Windows

Sacred Windows An invitation to gaze into heaven's stained glass windows - Beauty, Truth and Goodness. The mind must be fed constantly with truth in order to thrive and grow.

A window is a barrier of some fragile material that stands between the outside and the inside. Here, the outside is the world of God’s creation; the inside is the inner world of each human soul. When we encounter the many forms of Beauty, Truth and Goodness around us, our souls are gazing through sacred windows. Beauty appeals to the emotions and is the foundation for the supernatural gift of Hope

. Of all God’s creatures, only humans have the capacity to feel deeply the beauty and inspiration of the created world and hope for something even loftier. Truth nurtures the intellect and is the foundation of the supernatural gift of Faith. Truth saves us from error and ennobles us to live in community and in harmony with God’s creation. Goodness appeals to the will and is the foundation of the supernatural gift of Charity, the very essence of God’s Life. Authentic love always takes the form of concrete acts of heroism, generosity, and self-sacrifice. Our souls are enriched and strengthened by the humble goodness we find all around us.

Some years ago I walked into a Christian bookstore, and a fascinating colorful poster immediately caught my eye. From a distance, it looked like an image of the crowned head of Jesus. But as I drew closer, I could see that the whole picture was actually a composite of other tiny faces that made up

It is said of my favorite saint, the indomitable Joan of Arc, that she could hear the voices of her saints and angels in the bells of her parish church whenever they were rung. The key word there is “in”. The bells and the voices were one and
