This is the story of the birth of Jesus told through 33 paintings ranging from Van Eyck to Botticelli. Advent has come to an end. For four weeks we have prepared for this day: the birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Whilst Advent was a time of preparation for the coming of the Lord, today with his birth we are now invited to walk with Him, every step of the way. But if we are honest with ourselves, how many times are we forced to say to Jesus, with Saint Augustine “You were with me, but I was not with you”. To all our readers and subscribers, a very happy and joyful Christmas, Patrick

The Christmas Story told through Art

The UK will host the 26th UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow on 31st October. This is a 'Praying with Art' video we did, set to the music of John Denver's 'Windsong'. Through paintings by Van Gogh, Michelangelo, etc we look at the Beauty of our world... a world that has been entrusted into our care. We ask that we may all grow deeper in our respect for God's Creation and better care for it.

Prayer Video for COP26

Whilst all of us are still in lockdown, there is hope on the horizon this Easter. Vaccines have been found and slowly through the rest of this year, we will be able to get back to some normality. This Easter video is a prayer for your world, looking through the lens of art. I hope you will enjoy the watch, Patrick

Easter 2021 - A prayer for the World

Today, Ash Wednesday, we begin the liturgical season of Lent. The ashes used for Ash Wednesday are made from the burned and blessed palms of the previous year’s Palm Sunday. These ashes are the product of a ‘death’ of the palm branch, dried out and burned, and turned into the fine powder of ash. We use this sign of death at the beginning of Lent to mark our journey from ‘dying’ to self towards a new life. On Palm Sunday we will be given a new palm branch by the Church… Our faith takes us full circle. In this video we look a little closer to the ashes and the symbolism of the palm branches. As we embark today on this annual adventure in our faith, may we embrace each day Lent brings as an opportunity to bring us closer to Christ. Wishing you all a grace filled Lent, Patrick

Ash Wednesday through Art

This Christmas is unlike any other, to cap off a year unlike any other. The joy of Christmas is with us, but also a sadness that we can’t be with family & friends. Already 2,000 years ago the joy of the birth of Christ was already closely linked to His sufferings. His birth and Crucifixion have many parallels. The Nativity foretells Christ crucified. In this video we look at 10 parallels between the nativity and Calvary. Wishing a very merry and blessed Christmas to you all, Patrick

Bethlehem speaks of Calvary

Not once in the Bible do we hear a word spoken by Saint Joseph. He may be silent in words, but it is Saint Joseph who loved, protected and provided for the Holy Family. This silence of Saint Joseph is very eloquent. Through his silence he quietly worked away in the background. His hiddenness is something which we see also in Mary’s life, quietly pursuing holiness by doing the ordinary things in life extraordinarily well. I hope you will enjoy this video. At the start of this Advent, we are invited to walk together with Saint Joseph towards Bethlehem…

Walking with Saint Joseph during Advent

This year, All Souls day will feel very different. During lockdown, many of us were unable to attend funerals. We feel that somehow we have not been able to say a proper goodbye to many of our friends and family. So listening to Fauré's In Paradisum, and through the lens of art, we reflect and pray for our deceased loved ones.

All Souls, through Art

This weekend we celebrate the Assumption of our Lady. This feast refers to the Blessed Virgin Mary being assumed body and soul into heaven at the end of her life here on earth. In this video we look, through the lens of Christian Art, at how Our Lady might have looked back on her life before being assumed into Heaven.
