The Holy Church of Art: Sermonette #5



 Brothers and sisters in art, they look but they do not see. Art is there, though buried deep. They indulge in the surface pleasures: the color that seduces, the instant recognition of the familiar, the guarantee of comfort and safety.

We know that faith cannot be about blind assurance. Mature faith must be anchored in courage, courage to move fearlessly toward a vision whose end is unknown and uncertain but whose motive rages.

Brothers and sisters, dive below the surface. Penetrate the deep. Have faith in your vision. Let comfort be no more than a momentary respite.

Amen
