Tepidity (On Luke 12:49-53)

Questions for listeners while gazing at the sculpture:

These are questions that one must answer prior to listening to the meditation:
1) What strikes you most about Michelangelo’s unfinished work? Color, contrast and texture? The man’s position or expression?
2) What emotions or feelings are conveyed by the unfinished work? Peace, tension, joy or suffering
3) In what way can you relate to the emerging figure? What do you think the statue is trying to say?

The Beatitudes, A Call to Action

Questions to ponder before listening to the Meditation on Starry Night (Part 2):

1) How many stars can you count? What is the brightest object in the swirling sky?

2) What would you consider to be the most prominent or outstanding object in the starry night? Do you think it could have been painted with another color?

3) What object or figure seems to create a balance between the contrast of the sky and sleepy town?
