H/T to White Stone...
This little drawing/caption of mine came back to memory after reading WhiteStone's comment on my House of God, Catholic style post. She really hit the nail on the head. Thanks WSNS.
"The people who built these churches, it seems to me, understood not only who God is better than we do, but what human nature is. When the Wise Men gave the infant Jesus gold, frankincense and myrrh, they knew a baby doesn't need these things; God doesn't need them- THEY needed to offer these things for the good of their own souls. Is it a coincidence that when 'sin' went out of fashion that beautiful churches went out of fashion too? If I'm okay, you're okay-then what do we need to do to show our love and need for Almighty God? Once we understand who we are in relationship to God, we will start building beautiful churches again - like Mother Angelica has done."
