I finished the retablo on Monday and finally photographed it today. The entire image and the narrative in on Up Your Street if anyone is interested.
"Another important aspect of wearing the Scapular is the Sabbatine Privilege. This concerns a promise made by Our Lady to Pope John XXII. In a papal letter he issued, he recounted a vision that he had had. He stated that the Blessed Virgin had said to him in this vision, concerning those who wear the Brown Scapular: "I, the Mother of Grace, shall descend on the Saturday after their death and whomsoever I shall find in Purgatory, I shall free, so that I may lead them to the holy mountain of life everlasting."
Terry: I think our Lady will lead you to the holy mountain out of love for your devotion--even without the scapular. The painting is simply lovely. Joseph deverves a kingly place next to our King, the Christ child.

ReplyDeleteWhat is, if there is, the meaning of the color of Our Lord's clothing--red with white?

Terry: Just exquisite.
ReplyDeleteSaint Joseph is surely the refuge of sinners; and the patron of us all.
SF - no - I took the style from a Spanish painting of a young royal.
