Art and faith? All are welcome to answer....? I was born of a group of scientific minds. My parents never gave me any religious instruction. And yet, when I see The Pieta, (see this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piet%C3%A0_(Michelangelo) ) I am stricken with an inexplainable pain. My heart grieves at the look on Mary's face. My soul screams at the utter horror of losing a son (I have a two year old son.) My question is this: What does this mean? Am a merely a mother, sympathizing with another mother's loss? Or is this divine in nature? Why do I hurt so much when I see this statue? It is both a connection on the humane level and divine. The human, obviously, because you have that connection of motherhood. But the divine is from the sacrifice. Mary knew what would occur to her son. Jesus knew it also. But they both knew Jesus had to die, so that we could get to heaven. The sacrifice is genuinely touching, on a great deal of levels. But Jesus even said "No more outstanding love is there than this--for a man to lay down his life for his friends" If you look at the story of Jesus as a story, it is a strange story. A man, who teaches great things, claims to be the son of the One and True God. But, he doesn't come down as a general, a rich king or a wizard. He came down to serve us. He came down to offer his life for us. It is very touching to think that such an all powerful being would love us and sacrifice himself for us. If not one thing else, it is a very touching story... But, there's more. It was staged as truth, and written by persons who were in truth there. The assert is that this is no fictional story, but truth. And the story is so crazy--that it just might be true. All from a glimpse at a statue. Jesus, shouted through time, to you. Amazing. |
