Much of this art was separated from the context of the Mass for which it was created many centuries ago and is relegated now to museums sprinkled around the world. Along with his co-authors Evelyn Auth and Msgr. Roger Landry\, Steve leads the reader on a worldwide pilgrimage to some of the most spectacular and moving artistic masterpieces created over the millennia to help clergy and laity alike penetrate more deeply into the Eucharistic mystery. Journeying to museums and churches in nearly 20 cities across the United States and Europe\, the authors will guide you through the liturgy of the Mass in ways you may never have experienced. \nWhether you attend church out of obligation\, for the sense of community you find there\, or for the Eucharistic presence itself\, Visions of the Divine will help you make these experiences richer\, more vibrant\, and more fulfilling. And if you’ve never attended a Roman Catholic Mass and are curious about what happens there\, Visions will give you an experience guaranteed to leave you thirsting for more. \nNarrated in the author’s simple\, emotive style\, Visions of the Divine presents you with dozens of colorful images of thought-provoking art that will immerse you in each element of the Mass at a deeper and more profound level\, including: \n\nHow the simple act of making the Sign of the Cross\, which the average Catholic does eight times during the liturgy\, can make you cry\nQuieting your mind to listen more actively to the Word of God and to imagine yourself in the moment as the Word is proclaimed and the author guides you through some of the Scriptures’ most iconic messages\nImagining the Apostles’ Creed as it was carved and painted into one of Europe’s most colorful Catholic churches\nMeditating on a lasting image of eternity while the collection basket is passed — a practice that will forever change how you think about this relatively prosaic element of the liturgy\nReliving the sacrifice and triumph of Christ on Calvary during the Eucharistic prayers through some of the greatest artistic masterpieces ever created\nFollowing the path of biblical figures\, such as Mary Magdalene\, the prodigal son\, and St. Paul himself\, to freely receive Christ’s healing mercy\, forgiveness\, peace\, and love at Mass\nExperiencing the sacrament of Holy Communion for what it truly is — communion with God Himself\nHow to re-enter the world following the Mass with visual images in your head that will make you a more effective evangelist\n\nFrom Rembrandt\, El Greco\, and Van Gogh to Michelangelo\, da Vinci\, and Raphael; from Velaquez\, Picasso\, and Dali to lesser-known greats\, such as Pontormo\, Masaccio and Drolling\, the array of breathtaking art in Steve Auth’s Visions of the Divine will enlighten your path to communion with God. You will witness our Father’s love for you and be encouraged to let yourself be loved by Him within the Eucharistic mystery.
