Visions of Mary: Art, Devotion, and Beauty at Chartres Cathedral places Mary within the context of her “home” at Notre Dame de Chartres. The stained glass of the cathedral sometimes speaks of her directly, and sometimes reminds those in prayer to look towards God, just as she did.
My Prayer
Beauty, lead my heart towards You.
Scriptural Touchstone:
“Mary said, ‘My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior…'” Luke 1: 46-47a

Stunningly beautiful and inspirational photos. May my life express God’s beauty more and more in all my relationships and in all I do, and may I not do anything that would take away from it. “Lord, let me increasingly reflect your light and love in ways that draw others you to your magnificent glory.”
