Today's Pastor's Pick is about Catholic art - the Pieta by Michelangelo (St. Peter’s Basilica, Vatican)
Carved from a single block of Carrara marble when Michelangelo was in his twenties, the Pietà shows the Blessed Mother holding the body of her crucified Son. Mary’s face is young and serene; Christ’s body is tenderly composed. The work invites contemplation of redemptive love: sorrow held within trust, and beauty that does not deny the Cross.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession, was left unaided.

O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
