I have done
a Blog in the past on our dear friend
& benefactor, Lauren Ford, who gifted our Abbey of Regina Laudis, in
This week
of Christmas I want to portray her art, as I
feel the world right now needs simplicity as we celebrate the Birth of our
Savior. It has been a very hard year for
all, but most especially for the working class peoples of all countries as they
have tried to stay afloat for their families, as their livelihood has been
threatened or destroyed.
Lauren loved to use the people of her area in her art, especially the farmers. This simple, yet moving piece shows the laborers getting the animals fed in the midst of a cold winter’s day.
Christmas
is about simplicity. Jesus was born in
an ordinary manger. A feeding trough was his cradle. He was not born of
royalty, but of humble, poor parents. And it was this simplicity that held
the destiny of our salvation.
