Closeup of a bust (sculpture/statue) of Jesus Christ looking upward toward God the Father in heaven, with a red gritty, grunge effect applied with the quote: The way we came to know love was that he laid down his life for us; so we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.—1 John 3:16 (NABRE)

He Laid Down His Life

A large Nativity scene at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Henderson, Nevada with the quote: Newborn Savior, the very silence of your Incarnation proclaims that the answer to the misery, the strife, and the meaninglessness we often experience in life cannot be found within us. You alone are the Answer.—Fr. Peter John Cameron, O.P.

You Alone Are the Answer

Watercolor painting by French painter James Tissot named The Ointment of the Magdalene (Le parfum de Madeleine) (1886-1894) depicting Mary Magdalene kneeling before Christ, anointing his feet with costly nard oil, and wiping them with her hair, a gesture of deference and devotion with the quote: Judas thought Mary’s anointing was wasteful, preventing the costly nard from benefitting the poor. In point of fact, it served precisely that purpose... for the worst sort of poverty is to be unaware of or unmoved by the Savior’s presence. Are we willing to “waste” our lives for the love of Jesus? To be embarrassingly attentive to him?—Magnificat, April 15, 2019

The Worst Sort of Poverty

The Alchemy of the Cross

Statue of Saint Paul the apostle with a sword and scroll in Saint Peter's Square, outside Saint Peter's Basilica in Vatican City with the quote: “A hero gives us the illusion of surpassing humanity. But the saint does not surpass it: he assumes humanity. He strives to come as close as possible to his model, Jesus Christ, which is to say, the One who was perfect man, who was man with perfect simplicity, who was man to the point, precisely, of disconcerting all heroes.”—Georges Bernanos, Bernanos: An Ecclesial Existence

Disconcerting All Heroes

Artwork of Jesus in a glass/crystal prism with the quote: "Suffering is a great grace; through suffering the soul becomes like the Savior; in suffering love becomes crystallized; the greater the suffering, the purer the love."—Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska, Diary: Divine Mercy in My Soul

In Suffering Love Becomes Crystallized
