Be drawn into the heart of Christmas!
The Treasury provides an intimate glimpse into the renewing love that the Holy Family invites us into! Notice where the heart of family – it’s Christ Jesus.
In The One Who Gave Myrrh, the Christ Child is held by one of the Magi, bringing to life the words from Scripture:
“For a child is born to us, a son is given to us; upon his shoulder dominion rests. They name him Wonder-Counselor, God-Hero, Father-Forever, Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:5
Inspire the Fathers in Your Life:
Join Jesus and Joseph in the carpenter’s workshop in Paternitas – a scene that reveals the beauty in the ordinary, and the holy in the task of work and trade. This image reminds us that relationship involves communion, presence, and commitment.
Cena brings us right to the heart of home – the dinner table. Here, Christ looks intently at St. Joseph, learning from him and showing us the importance of his role as father. Mary motions toward this moment, inviting us to join them at their family table to learn and be loved.
For couples walking in their vocation:
A Moment of Prayer reveals the power of personal relationships with Mary, Joseph, and the Saints, knowing that, with models of holiness and through intercession, a marriage of husband and wife may be strengthened in their journey to heaven together.
Most of ordinary life is hidden and unremarkable, yet ripe with invitations to holiness! A Hidden Moment offers a clear picture of the purpose of marriage and family: to bear the Cross of Christ, and journey into Resurrection with Him too.
Art that says: “Welcome home!“
The Prodigal Son is embraced by his father in the piece, Coming Home. Behind their intimate embrace, there is a path that the father made running to meet the son, always ready to receive him, ready for his return.
Arise is an intimate meditation on the intimacy of being called out of death into life. ‘Talitha Koum, little Girl I say to you Arise!’ Here, Christ is intimately speaking to the girl, reminding us that God is gentle and loving when He calls us into new life.
To Deepen Her Trust in His Goodness:
This piece is the perfect start to praying with sacred art because it speaks to our desire for relationship! Face to Face is an artistic reflection on the moment Mary Magdalene meets Jesus after His Resurrection – He sees her in all of her humanness, and invites her into His glory. Her heart, her ache, matters to Him.
Another wonderful piece to pray with is The Lily, depicting the Annunciation and Mary’s fiat. Mary, who trusted God from the beginning, is pictured here as bride, saying yes to complete surrender to the Holy Spirit with holy abandon. Through her great hope, she invites us to share in that tender union with him.
Strengthen His Mission of Love in the 21st Century:
The Face of Christ gazes upon you with this charcoal study based off of the shroud of Turin. Originally done on unprimed canvas as a reflection of the cloth used to wipe the face of Christ on the way to Calvary. Notice His look as He loves you dearly, beckoning you in to His heart.
St. Carlo Acutis is a model of perseverance and authenticity, He reminds all young men of the modern world what faithfulness looks like. (A limited edition print of this brand new saint will be available this Christmas, so keep an eye out)
Give the Gift of Sacred Art!
Enter into the mystery of the Rosary in the painting: Our Lady of the Rosary holds the Christ as he child blesses us with joy. This work also glimpses four mysteries of the rosary on each of the corners: It is the perfect piece to invite deep prayer. It reminds us of Our Lady’s faithfulness to all who pray the Rosary!
Limited edition prints of Our Lady adorned in gold-leaf are available for pre-order in the shop!
‘Totus Tuus ego sum et omnia mea tua sunt’
“I am all yours, and all that I have is yours”
This artwork is based off of St Pope John Paul II’s motto “Totus Tuus,” the result of a deep, enduring devotion to Mary that grew strong when he was a young man. Totus Tuus reminds us to stand firm under the grace and protection of Our Lady, as she holds the heart of Christ.
