“The greatness of the human being consists in this: that it is capable of the universe.” — Saint Thomas Aquinas

In 1445, a Flemish painter painted a hovering angel almost entirely in black. With dark robes and dark wings, it presses its hands to its face, crying. The contrast with the pale background sky is deliberate: the figure is engulfed in darkness, but its agony is clearly visible. Rogier van der Weyden, Crucifixion Triptych, detail.

probably more of an easter painting than a christmas painting, but the one I see as the most outrageously daring painting ever made, confounding doctrine, physics, and the state of the art. The resurrection panel of the Isenheim Altarpiece by Matthias Grünewald, circa 1512

Viernes. Tras una noche de silencio, de látigo y tribunales, el sol se levanta entre gritos: «¡Fuera, fuera; crucifícalo!» (Jn 19, 15) «¡Caiga su sangre sobre nosotros!» (Mt 27, 25) La moneda que echara al aire Pilatos ya ha caído y ha salido cruz. ¿Seguimos con nuestro HILO? 🧵

St. Augustine tells us that a single tear shed at the remembrance of the Passion of Jesus is worth more than a Pilgrimage to Jerusalem, or a year of fasting on bread and water.

Hoy es un día estupendo para asomarse a ventana del nuevo año 2025 recordando a Bartolomé Esteban Murillo el maestro alegre del Barroco que nos regala pinceladas de belleza dulce y amable para alimentar el alma con humanidad, humildad y autenticidad ✨🤩💛😇💫

Qué emoción poder verlo estando fuera de Granada. Se encoge el corazón al ver al Cristo del Silencio salir de San Pedro.
