TAKE FIVE FOR FAITH: Daily renewal for busy Catholics 10/29/2011

Citing of the Week

"The key for all charged with religious teaching might not really be a ‘content-full’ but a ‘content-smart’ approach: identifying the one or two key things that are truly central."

FEAST OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY

Mary, updated
Traditional images of Mary show her “meek and mild”: eyes downcast, arms enfolding her son, or hands pressed together in prayer. She stood or sat with the stillness of eternity wrapped around her. If she extended herself at all, it was in arms held downward and outward to her children throughout history calling for her intercession. Recently, new artists are portraying a more active woman—the Walking Madonna by Elizabeth Frink, for example: elderly, striding, purposeful, like the many grey-haired ladies who are the backbones of their parishes. Mary still has places to go and things to do. Care to come along?
