Icons can be Iconoclastic.

My friend and Priest Mark Bozzuti-Jones has said something that has stuck with me. Icons can be a window to God and the divine, and the lives of Christ and the Saints. However, icons can also be iconoclastic, ( as in breaking images). There is something about the image of God that will always be resisted and there is something about the image of God that will always be crucified BECAUSE we continue to crucify each other. We continue to fail to recognize the image of God (Imago Dei) in ‘the other’. Christ said he is to be found in ‘the least of these’ and those who suffer. What St. Theresa of Calcutta called, “Christ in distressing disguise”. We don’t get to pick and choose who does and does not have the image of God within them. That’s not our job. Every person is themselves, an icon of God.

For those standing up and protesting for the people in Gaza and Palestine/ Keep going. Stand with the most vulnerable and those suffering in your own backyards and across the globe.

Calling all you Brian Doyle fans: swing by the Priory gift shop and pick up his newest book. Namely, a daily reader compiled by his widow, Mary, and endowed with many of Brian's scribbles and scratches. It's wonderful.
