Sacred Sanctuary



” The church of Sagrada Familia will be full of light.  Religious emotion will not spring from fear of the shadows barely pierced by a ray of sunlight, but will emanate from the clear mystery of the harmony of light… This, then, will be the church of harmonious light.”

-Antoni Gaudi

 

I wonder.

 

Is it the work of a brilliant man?
Or maybe God himself working through the hands of a brilliant man?

Regardless, how could one not shed a tear when love, adoration and respect for greater things manifest in a gigantic display of beauty where walls seem to sing, dance and play?  Inspiration drawn from nature, balance, harmony and light — what you get is the type of love that would make even the most immaculate heart skip a beat, or two.

Welcome to God’s playground.
(I can’t wait til they finish it around my 45th birthday.)
