About this title

Synopsis

The long history of teaching the Faith using images in stained glass windows continues in Catholic churches today. This book is for use in private devotion, to enhance time spent in St. Patrick Church in Newport NH. It is arranged for methodical viewing and consideration of the stained glass windows, their location and placement, the meaning of symbols depicted, and for prayerfully remembering those in whose name they were donated.The explanation of each image is keyed to Holy Scripture, Tradition, and to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, where applicable.The Stained Glass Windows at St. Patrick Parish include the following:* The Seven Sacraments* Several Saints* The Four Evangelists* The Instruments of Christ's Passion* St. Joseph and Mary Regina* Christ in His Glory. If a reader wishes to create a book like this for his or her own church, they are encouraged to do so. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “Praying the Stained Glass Windows" is a marvelous resource for parishioners and visitors alike. In the windows of our church is found a ‘catechism in glass,’ with each window teaching us about the saints, the sacraments, and the life of Christ. As such, Ann’s book is a great help to those who not only wish to pray in St. Patrick’s Church but also pray with St. Patrick’s Church.--Rev. Michael L. Sartori, Pastor of St. Patrick Parish ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
