Sharings

 1. The outer band of 52 segments teaches the meaning of the colors and celebrations of the liturgical year.

 2. The center band of gold reveals 52 international faces intended to communicate the universality of the Catholic Church.

 3. The inner circle is a rendering of the communion of saints. In the heavens the saints gaze down to earth. Three golden forms joined in prayer look heavenward. They represent the living on earth connected to the saints in prayer. Their golden appearance is to convey the message that our lives are our golden opportunities to live as God intended with the assistance of heaven. The green hills emphasize the gift of life. Below the figures a simple human form lies in the rich brown earth.

 With each passing year, the colors of the weeks may be adjusted with “wedge mats” of the appropriate liturgical color. Sharon would be happy to send along enlargements of the inner mural on request.ML
