Our Lady
of Perpetual Succour - image explained
The symbolism in the
picture is quite wonderful. We forget that it wasn't that long ago when
illiteracy was dominant in the world. This is one reason that, espeically in the past, the Gospel was preached through
pictures and statues. People couldn't read but they could see a picture and
LEARN about our FAITH. Though, we can read these images are still powerful
REMINDERS of the various aspects of our Faith. We should feel grateful to God
for still having them and also wonder at the Faith of our spiritual ancestors
who produced and used them. Thanks and Praise be to God !

Do you notice the earlobe of Our Lady Sandy Leong? ICONS
always have earlobes indicating LISTENING EARS.
Sandy
Leong O yes!!! You are so right! I am wondering why it is not stated (the
earlobe) ??
Michael Hii
My niece Sr Maria Lu Keong
of the Incarnation, OSC, a Poor Clare nun in England
told me that, she draws ICONS and makes STAINED GLASSES in her monastery.
