My husband and I just got back from a trip to Belgium. The day before we left, we stumbled into a concert practice at the Church of Our Blessed Lady in Brussels. They were likely practicing for a performance on Easter Sunday.
The music, singing, tall arches and stained-glass windows inside the church have created something magical. Here is a one-minute video I recorded on my phone.
Michelangelo once said, “The true work of art is but a shadow of divine perfection.” Whenever I see a piece of great art, witness a remarkable performance, or feel awe-struck by a natural wonder, my heart always trembles inside because I feel God’s presence through the presence of beauty.
I picked up a short prayer from the Basilica of the Precious Blood in Bruges, Belgium. I love it because it reminds us of God’s love and sacrifice and shows how we should respond.
Happy Easter
