| The Last Supper |
Dear
Brothers and Sisters: At this time of anxiety and suffering caused by the
current pandemic, we all face uncertainty and may ask where God is to be found
in this situation. During these days of Holy Week we can find solace in the
account of the Passion of Jesus. Our Lord also faced questions, with many
wondering whether he really was the promised Messiah. It was only after his
death that a centurion confirmed that Jesus truly was the Son of God. He did
this after seeing Christ suffer silently on the cross, which teaches us that
God’s power is revealed in humble and self-sacrificial love. We, like the
disciples, may have preferred the Lord to manifest his strength by resolving
our problems according to our own measure of what is right. Yet the death and resurrection
of Jesus show that while earthly power passes away, only love endures forever.
Dear brothers and sisters, let us draw courage from our crucified and risen
Lord, who embraces our fragility, heals our sins, and draws us close to him, transforming
our doubts into faith and our fears into hope.

Rosemarie Adcock is an artist who
creates art with a soulful purpose. “Ultimately, it is my desire to draw my
viewers into the beauty of a colorful composition as though they were entering
a new world. It is also my passion to share an ancient faith in a fresh and
vibrant way, displaying a part ancient, part future story, wherein we dwell
somewhere between, with our lives connected to the entire narrative.” All of her painting have birds in them- wonder if she is an avid birder!
