Merry Christmas!

 

From whom all good proceeds

O God, from whom all good proceeds: Grant that by your inspiration we may think those things that are right, and by your merciful guiding may do them; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Nativity Scene - "Holy Family" by Michelangelo

I was always impressed with the ability of Michelangelo to place dynamic figures into challenging spaces.

I had the good luck to spend hours with this painting in Florence while studying abroad in college. Quite amazing, I think.
