The image that I have always associated with St. Paul’s Conversion is Caravaggio’s “The Conversion of St. Paul,” painted around 1600. (See here for the image. In the way Caravaggio has depicted the moment, Saint Paul has just fallen to the ground and lies there on his back, arms stretched upwards. In her new book, [...]

Cardinal Martini focuses on the reality that St. Paul’s experience on the road to Damascus wasn’t so much about Paul changing his mind or behavior.

I’m back.

Welcome!
Every artistic effort, every media production, is a window to the soul of its creator. Our media culture is also a window--to the soul of humanity. As Christian communicators, we strive to let Christ's light within us glow through the windows of our souls--our media productions. Welcome to my personal musings into the spirituality of being a Catholic media artist and a Pauline woman religious immersed in the world of communication.
