Education of the Virgin, Giuseppe Mazzuoli , c. 1700, Cleveland Museum of Art: European Painting and Sculpture

During the Counter-Reformation, the Roman Catholic Church increasingly upheld Saint Anne, the Virgin Mary’s mother, as an example of virtuous motherhood, particularly in emphasizing her daughter’s religious education. Its graceful composition also connects to the idealized, elegant work of Guido Reni. Size: Overall: 110.5 x 96.5 x 26 cm (43 ½ x 38 x 10 ¼ in.) Medium: marble

OUR LADY OF LORETO - Feast day - December 10

“How this Shrine came to be is a fascinating story. This is the House of Nazareth, the home of the Holy Family, which had been brought by angels from Nazareth to the Dalmatian coast, and later, by the same angels, transported to Loreto where it stands today enclosed in the huge Basilica just described. The history of Loreto is based upon a wealth of sound tradition and reliably recorded historical facts. We know from the visits of reliable witnesses to the Holy Land, whose journeys were carefully recorded in documents, that the Holy House of Nazareth was intact in Palestine at a relatively late date. St. Louis, King of France, heard Mass in Nazareth in 1253 in the same chamber where the Angel announced the coming of Christ to the Blessed Virgin Mary.”

Once brought to Loreto, Mary’s plain house was nestled inside a sumptuous marble shell, the masterpiece of a Renaissance genius. Pope Julius II had it designed by Donato Bramante in 1509, but it took no less than seventy years to complete it. (+)

“Real spirituality is going through fire. Real spirituality is rebellion against all that is rotten, against all that is past, against all that is being forced on you by others, against all conditionings. Real spirituality is the greatest rebellion there is. It is risky, it is adventurous, it is dangerous. So beware of pseudo spirituality which is always there, available, easily available at the door.”

— Osho

Let’s slow down to talk and listen to God. It’s too tempting to fill our schedules up so much that we don’t have the necessary time to relate with our ABBA FATHER. The more time spent with Him, the better our lives will be. Guaranteed. #goodnewsfeed https://ift.tt/2Okn9wf
