We started our morning in the Christian Catacombs of Priscilla and ended the day at Santa Maria della Vittoria reflecting on the sculpture of the ecstasy of St. Teresa. What a contrast! The dank catacombs spoke of sacrifice and martyrdom. Bernini's statue of Teresa captures the joy she experienced when an angel pierced her heart with the fire of the Lord and she realized that only God could satisfy. That is the joy I wish for each of you. Let nothing disturb thee, nothing affright thee All things are passing; God never changeth; Patient endurance attaineth to all things; Who God possesseth in nothing is wanting; Alone God sufficeth. ~ St. Teresa of Avila You are Always in my Prayers. Love Mom.
