March / April 2021

Lent and Easter are times we often give to deeper prayer. In this issue we have a number of articles that will aid in one’s prayer-life. Michael DeSanctis offers a timely reflection upon the death of Jesus as portrayed in The Master of Rabenden’s marvelously sculpted Vesperbild (see front cover). John Zupez, SJ offers insights into why we call upon the intercession of the saints and Carlos X. Colorado gives us a model of prayer based upon the life of Saint Oscar Romero. At its heart prayer is about our relationship with God. To better understand this relationship Owen Cummings presents Ernest Skublics’ Trinitarian Theology and Dennis Billy, C.Ss.R. continues his series exploring the Eucharistic theology of well-known literary figures. Here he explores the theology of Charles Williams who envisions a place for romantic love in our understanding of God. May these reflections aid your journey through these liturgical seasons.
