Faces of Christ
For this Lenten Season, in the words of Pope Francis, “May the Holy Spirit lead us on a true journey of conversion, so that we can rediscover the gift of God’s word, be purified of the sin that blinds us, and serve Christ, [Who is] present in our brothers and sisters in need. The Word is a gift. Other persons are a gift.” ~ Lenten Message by Pope Francis (Feb 2017). This Lenten Season, we see icons and imagery of what we believe are the many faces of Christ. Christ is present in the Eucharist, in ourselves, and in each other when we do corporal works of mercy. Christ is in us and among us. CHA’s own chaplain Father Anthony has captured four faces of Christ in this colored pencil drawing — both the lion and the lamb as well as other faces hidden in the lines. This artwork is a beautiful piece to adorn your family room or prayer space.
