Fr Philip Carter and Alison McAllister are taking a short break from the blog Spirit Matters. We’ll be back in September.
The last five posts that have brought you Fr Philip’s meditation series Who is Jesus? have filled many of you with delight and we’ve appreciated the comments received in person and through email. I have really enjoyed finding the images and music to accompany Fr Philip’s beautiful words and am leaving you with some images to contemplate during the break.
The Spanish-born Maximino (“Mino”) Cerezo Barredo, CMF, is a Claretian priest and liberation theologian, as well as an artist known for his murals. He has traveled extensively throughout Latin America, living for extended periods in Peru, Brazil, Nicaragua, and Panama. In a 2012 interview he said, “What I want to convey through painting is God’s way of being that is embodied in the humanity of Jesus of Nazareth. He’s not a distant, absent God, but a God who became human in Jesus.” He also wants to convey “the paschal situation of the Latin American people—between life and death. A death that leads to the Resurrection.”
