The War Against True Image

In our age, the noise and bombardment of images can submerge true image, and we can loose focus on authentic beauty and the hand of our God who paints us into a grand story.

In these times it is good to re-polarize ourselves by gazing in adoration at a holy image — or if you can in the course of your day, even for a few minutes, at the face of Christ himself in the Blessed Sacrament.

All the created universe contains a great potential. Each image, each form of art and media has a potency to build us up in a relationship with Love itself, with Christ who is love. We were created for an incarnate universe. But when images take us away from authentic relationships they are indeed anti-images, anti-medias, and little anti-Christs.
