2.01 LITURGY:DOORWAY TO THE ETERNITIES
" ... The study of Sacred Art and Architecture is centered on life’s toughest questions and the process of reflection on the purpose of life itself ..."

My passion for the divine began for me as a 6 year old child during the daily Mass at the Holy Rosary Cathedral.
The Latin High Mass perhaps is the most beautiful liturgy we are able to experience. A child drawn into Mystery and Intuition : Embraced by the Mystical realities.
This, the raw experience of Truth, Goodness, and Beauty.
} Singing the music of Palestrina!
} Smells of incense rising into the scattered Amber Light
} Stain glass reflecting the intersection of the Divine and Human
} Senses drawn into the wonder of beauty
} Sights of bowed heads in the Great Moment of Prayer
} Silent red- blue- white flickering lights of the vigils
Something has begun to happen in the Present Moment.
The smell of God is in the air!

::: We touch the sacred presence.
.
::: We hear the songs and melodies of heaven as the archangels sing the praises to God.
.
.
::: We stand beneath the Gaze of God and call out into the Eternities: embraced by the Holy Mother, the angels, and the saints appear to fill the walls, ceilings, floors to fill everything with light- everything: including me.

2.02 SAINT PETER'S, ROME
::: The misty light streaming through the high stained glass windows have created an amber glow that has invaded everything: the walls, statues, the shades and shadows, the people standing and sitting- even me.
.
::: I have lost myself in a moment of contemplation.
.
::: The visitors, people of every hue and color under the heavens, are unaware of this holy and sacred place and the silent prayers of the centuries that continue to echo throughout this enchanting space.
.
::: Many wander about pausing to admire a painting, a symbol, a statute, St. Peter’s tomb, staring into 2000 years of the history of art and architecture: a special place.
.
::: Ah! St. Peter! You have been crowned by singing bells, clothed in votive lights, candles and tapestries, and given eyes of shrines and altars designed to keep me awake this night!

.
::: We are given a glimpse of the divine within the order, delight, and wonder of the universe.
.
::: We sense and smell God in sacred places knowing that religions cannot and do not “create” holy places.
.
::: But, as we have learned: rites and rituals and sacred space can be “consecrated” to acknowledge God in time and place where we are in harmony with the Cosmic Image:
