(ROUND)
This stained glass
suncatcher is centered around the bright morning star that Jesus portrays
himself as in the book of revelations- Revelations 22: 16.... "I am....
The Bright Morning Star". The rising of the morning star (Jesus) is
mentioned again in 2 Peter 2: 19 "Moreover we posses the prophetic message
that is altogether reliable. You will do well to be attentive to it, as to a
lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in
your hearts". Here St. Peter is urging us to keep our eyes of faith fixed
on Jesus during the night of our earthly pilgrimage so that when he does appear
on the last day in the fullness of time we will be longing to see Him. This
must be a daily act of faith of longing as the bright morning star rises every
morning before dawn. We must be attentive to the bright morning star every day
of our lives so that on our last day we will eager to meet Jesus - the Bright
morning star.
