We loved this picture the instant we saw it! The color combinations, the teal & orange, the rugged browns, the thorny border which frames the scene with the crown of roses at the top, all of it was so beautiful! We kept looking at it. It was hard not to. Then we realized this is a meditation picture. We can ponder the suffering of Jesus & his Passion. There on his chest is his Sacred Heart, which reminds us of the reason he did this for us: His boundless love. He was not a helpless victim. He chose to undergo his trial. The artistry lets our eyes stay on the subject. But more than that, we can ponder Jesus's sacrifice for us as we gaze at this image. Beauty is a facet of God by which he can enter our hearts. If you'd like to, you can use this picture while you're praying. We have restored this turn-of-the-century German holy card & printed it as a 4x6" postcard. Send it to friends or relatives to share the faith! Or put it a bookshelf for a devotional piece of Catholic art! We also offer this as an art print on our shop. Search "carrying".
