Mary Unites Christians, Cardinal Tells Anglicans Devotion to the Virgin Mary has an essential role in ecumenical dialogue and the journey to full and visible unity among Christians, says the president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity. Cardinal Walter Kasper affirmed this Wednesday when he presided over an ecumenical celebration in Lourdes, where Anglicans and Catholics had joined on pilgrimage. Anglican Archbishop Rowan Williams of Canterbury gave the homily at the event. The pilgrimage began at the Anglican shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham in England. "Lourdes is known for its miracles," Cardinal Kasper said. "Who would have imagined, only twenty or thirty years ago, that Catholics and Anglicans would go on pilgrimage and pray together? "For those who are familiar with the debates and controversies of the past on Mary, between Catholics and non-Catholic Christians, for those who know the reservations of the non-Catholic world toward Marian pilgrimage sites, for all these people, today's unprecedented event is a miracle." The cardinal contended that, in fact, Mary is an essential part of the ecumenical movement, though this topic "is neither common nor obvious among ecumenists." ...

Seasons of Our Lady The paintings of artist Linda Schäpper will be featured this fall in the gallery of The Marian Library/International Marian Research Institute at the University of Dayton. "The Seasons of Our Lady" features acrylic portrayals of the life of Mary, mother of Jesus, along with twenty mysteries of the rosary. The exhibit began Sept. 15 and runs through Nov. 15 in the Marian Library Gallery on the seventh floor of Roesch Library. Schäpper is an internationally known award-winning artist, who designed a huge tapestry for televised coverage of a papal Mass in Central Park in 1995 as well as a UNICEF Christmas card. According to the artist, she works in the primitive style and utilizes various techniques of church art, such as square, gold painted frames based on the ceiling tiles of an twelfth-century church in Zillis, Switzerland. "I love using these old techniques because it joins me to people who loved God one-thousand years ago," she said. "I think if I met the artists of that time, we would have the same heart. Somebody told me recently that one of the most important jobs of an artist is to be a storyteller and continue carrying the story through our generation and passing it on to the next." Other paintings break an incident from Mary's life into several stages, similar to contemporary storyboard techniques, she said. ...
