Mary is the ‘Holy House’ who bore God in her womb and is forever to be honoured by Elizabeth Want
In his Apostolic Exhortaion entitled Vita Consecrata (March 25, 1996) John Paul II has a thought provoking quote from St. Augustine:
“Beautiful is God, the Word with God … He is beautiful in heaven, beautiful on earth; beautiful in the womb, beautiful in his parents’ arms, beautiful in his miracles, beautiful in his sufferings; beautiful in inviting to life, beautiful in not worrying about death, beautiful in giving up his life and beautiful in taking it up again; he is beautiful on the Cross, beautiful in the tomb, beautiful in heaven. Listen to the song with understanding, and let not the weakness of the flesh distract your eyes from the splendour of his beauty.” #24

Who painted that? It is good to always identify the author.

Yes, I agree but at the time I couldn’t remember where I had picked up this image. I now carefully catalog everything I intend to use. Actually I later received permission from the artist’s son to use her images. Her name is Elizabeth Wang and here is a link to the image:
