After the storm

This acrylic painting of mine illustrates the mood of the scene
of the sacred Heart Church in Porirua New Zealand after the storm
which ripped out a number of trees; a desolate and dark
appearance which greeted us the following morning.
But the light behind the church was a sign of hope.

The Church today also feels the storm of declining numbers.
But there is always hope. If we set out to help people become
capable of "entering into relationships, of sharing and cooperating with others under the guidance of the Spirit ", we bring light in our world, witnessing the light of Christ who is the Light of the world.
