I am a Roman Catholic, a member of St James Cathedral parish in Seattle, the Director of Education for Seattle Opera. I am a fan of Hans Urs von Balthasar's Theological Aesthetics, and a joyous supporter of Pope Benedict XVI. I am interested in Gregorian Chant, opera, classical music, and the writings of Tolkien, Lewis, Williams, Sayers, and Dante.
El Greco offers this vision of the Great Deeds of Jesus as seen in the image of the Holy Trinity--the joy, the suffering, the glory. Perhaps the picture is worth a thousand words, in the sense that the Beauty of such art reveals the Beauty of the Truth. Gaze . . .and see . . .
