Robert, thank you for brightening up this bleak South Texas morning.

As I read this and reflected about my own responsibilities concerning bringing color to families and their homes (I am the sales associate who kinda runs the paint department of a major building supply company in Texas) I see how COLOR is fundamental to spiritual and emotional well-being.

You showcased:

the Father's and Our Lady's BLUE,

the Son's RED (in a negative example provided by the poor pigs). This speaks to the saving power of Jesus Christ's Precious Blood.

the Holy Spirit's GREEN with the vegetation that springs from winter's grave as nourishment for the next generation of life (and love).

I have a computer screen that is used to develop paint colors and dispense tinting and as a background I have a black screen with three interlocking Borromeo Rings to teach customers how full blue, full red and full green LIGHT is perceived by the cones of our eyes as pure, WHITE LIGHT.

Call it subconscious or covert evangelization or not. I haven't been fired yet.

Praise the Holy Trinity, undivided unity, Holy God, Mighty God, God Immortal be adored.

Such luminous images, and so full of life! Elizabeth heavy with child. The swine in abundance being prepared for slaughter. The bugs, butterfies and caterpillars among the plants and fruits. The exquisite beauty of the Virgin. Such a gift!
