Christ’s Church and the Appearance of Death

Tonight I would like to share with you a beautiful image that a dear friend sent to me.

I have admired the work of Hans Holbein the Younger for many years, in particular his Portrait of Sir Thomas More which I have seen in the Frick Collection in Manhattan.

This painting is a bit different however. Take a look.

It is striking to me. And since this is a subject for meditation, I shall say no more other than that the Body of Christ (the Church) will have to suffer as He did. I would say we’re on the Road to Calvary already.
