Do not be afraid of Christ! He takes nothing away, and he gives you everything.

Many seek controversy. Some seek entertainment. Few seek mystical union

You say, “These are certainly the end times.” Well, we can only hope that is the case.

O viridissima virga, ave! It’s been a pleasure working with @michaelsamynART on a VR chapel in celebration of Hildegard con Bingen’s vision of #viriditas, the greening energy behind all life. The one and only VR fascicle of @_foam #anarchive 🌱
The Viriditas Chapel of Perpetual Adoration by @michaelsamynART will be installed in the northern apsidal chapel of the virtual cathedral. 🌿⛪
Thanks to patrons @deziluzija and @zzkt of @_foam.

While you're waiting for #viriditasVR why not have another look at #compassieVR? Here's me about the dramatic change that happened between the making of the two: michaelsamyn.art/blog/23-day…

Day 2 of the novena to Saint Pope John Paul II in which we contemplate beauty, duty and talents.

On Instagram, @michaelsamynART is looking for Christian references in our past work. There's a lot of them! instagram.com/p/Cjh8QrCI8_p/…

Without the Eucharist the Church quite simply would not exist.

Affidiamoci oggi ai #SantiArcangeli Michele, Raffaele e Gabriele perché ci proteggano nella lotta contro le seduzioni del diavolo, ci aiutino a portare la Buona Notizia e ci prendano per mano nel cammino della vita affinché possiamo cooperare al disegno di salvezza di Dio.

Do not be afraid of silence or stillness, listen to God, adore him in the Eucharist. Let his word shape your journey as an unfolding of holiness.

Here's some of my thoughts about developing a sincere and modest VR piece inspired by old beauty with a religious theme and releasing it for free in a materialist world of cynical social media obsessed with numbers glued to cell phones: olt.lt/ms/compassie-postmort…

The landscape in the background of #CompassieVR is created from a thin slice modelled and textured by Zoe McCarthy that is duplicated, mirrored and rotated.

In many paintings the Magdalene is depicted in the act of opening the jar. Or is she closing it? I think so. Magdalene was considered a sinful woman and closing the jar is a symbol for her repentance. She later became revered as a Saint.

That jar belongs to Mary Magdalene who stood next to Maria at the crucifixion. In the bible she appears as a woman who anoints the feet of Jesus (much appreciated by the son of man to the dismay of his disciples). And the jar is the container of the ointment.

One of the recurring elements in paintings of the pietà is a small ceramic jar. @some_donkus has modelled it for #CompassieVR and it sits next to you in the diorama.
But why? What does it mean?
