The Rev. Carlos R. Lantis Window

The Rev. Carlos R. Lantis Window
based on "Hands of God & Hands of Time - Holding Beauty"
one of the many hand-colored bulleting covers created by Rev. Lantis

Interpretation of this art as written by Rev. Carlos Lantis:

"Beauty is a concept that describes the look of something, but on a deeper level defines quality and feeling. Once identified as a feminine characteristic, the late 50's, early 60's put "beautiful" into the masculine vocabulary. Guys talked of another man as a "beautiful person!" Now, it is not uncommon to hear a grandfather describe his grandson as "beautiful" no matter what the child looks like. Ecclesiastes 3 says God has made everything "beautiful in its time." It is for us to behold the beauty in all things great or small "for the Lord, God, has made them all." The sunflower has become a popular symbol of brightness and beauty. The transformation of the butterfly is often a sign of promise and pleasure. And, the baby's hand reaching out stirs a response in all who grow with the joys and needs of each child among us, reminding us to appreciate the child still within us. We are told to be as little children. to trust the secure hand of God that holds us - our source, provider, guide and encouragement."
