All Saints

“These are they that come of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.” Revelation 7:14

I took this picture of a statue of Saint Dominic at dawn before celebrating Mass for the Hawthorn Dominicans in Hawthorn, NY. I love how the mist, the framing of the trees, and St. Dominic’s upward gaze gives a spiritual sense to the photo, a perfect post for today’s celebration of All Saints.

Afterglow

You can always recognize truth by its beauty and simplicity.
