Religious life and art

The Congregation of Saint Joseph has something called "Ministry of the Arts," which includes written, visual, and musical arts created by Sisters. I love their music and much of their visual art (especially depictions of St. Joseph) are beautiful and depict diverse visions of Joseph http://ministryofthearts.org

They partner with local prisons to donate calendars with religious quotes and readings to women in prison; these have been quite helpful to the women and have lifted their spirits.

Haha, I can make publicity for my favorite monk-artist :D Dom Robert was a benedictine monk in l'abbaye Saint Benoît d'En Calcat. He made painting : http://www.domrobert.com/les-aquarelles_29.php (my favorites are the last virgin and "Heurtebise") and tapestry : http://www.domrobert.com/les-tapisseries_28.php (I love "La création de l'homme" and "Magnificat"). He said : "It is by circumstances that I made tapestry, it is by call that I entered monastery, and it is by birth that I draw"

 
 
 

​Those tapestries :heart:
