A Lenten Reflection
By Fr. Matthew Rzeczkowski, O.P.
Posted by Fr. Gabriel Gillen, O.P. on March 16, 2010
In the video slideshow above, Fr. Matthew Rzeczkowski, O.P., gives a simple yet profound Lenten reflection on three medieval paintings. The first, by Giotto, shows Saint Francis receiving the stigmata of Christ, and the other paintings by Fra Angelico depict Saint Dominic contemplating the Passion of Christ.
The motet heard in the video, "Behold, We Have Seen Him," was recorded by the schola at the Dominican House of Studies. The Latin original, "Ecce Vidimus Eum," was translated into English by James A. Keeley, and the musical score was composed by Claudio Casciolini.
