A Grotesque Geometry of Love

barber.l@rogers.com (Laurie Barber) — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 22:40:00 +0000

In her book, 'The Geometry of Love,' Margaret Visser takes one church, Sant'Agnese fuori le Mura (i.e. St. Agnes outside the Wall) in Rome, and tells us what it means.

In reviewing it, Joe Woodward of The Calgary Herald (Saturday October 28, 2000) said: "Visser was prompted to write a book on the meanings of church adornments by a visit to a tiny Spanish church. A local guide was showing a Japanese tourist the building, commenting on its various features.

Meanwhile, the foreigner was staring aghast – 'as well he might' – at a horrific, life-size carving, painted in brilliant reds and blacks, of a bleeding, tortured man, nailed to two pieces of wood. Yet, when he wordlessly gestured toward this grotesque artwork, the guide simply smiled and mentioned the date it was carved."

Bless Me

Bless me, O my Christ,
Be Thou my shield protecting me,
Aid my steps in the pitiful swamp,
Lead Thou me to the life eternal;
Aid my steps in the pitiful swamp,
Lead Thou me to the life eternal.

- Peighid Ni Cormaig, in 'The Carmina Gadelica'

Celtic Encompassing Prayer

barber.l@rogers.com (Laurie Barber) — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 21:32:00 +0000

The compassing of God and His right hand
Be upon thy form and upon thy frame;
The compassing of the High King and the grace of the Trinity
Be upon thee, abiding ever eternally.

May the compassing of the Three shield thee in thy means,
The compassing of the Three shield thee this day,
The compassing of the Three shield thee this night,
From hate, from harm, from act, from ill,
From hate, from harm, from act, from ill.

May the sacredness of your work bring healing, light
and renewal to those who work with you
and to those who see and receive your work.
May your work never weary you.
May it release within you wellsprings of
refreshment, inspiration and excitement.
May you be present in what you do.
