Awed by it's architecture
I step inside Gigantic gothic arches Rise on either side atop Cork red marble pillars Along each side of the aisle A colossal feat of construction Created in Pugin's style. Splendid stained glass windows Depicting saints of glory Sun's rays shine through the hues Each panel tells a story Intricate mosaics frame special shrines Beneath me the Augustinian crest inlaid I gaze at the elaborately ornate high altar Where hosts of priests have prayed Jesus and his apostles in white Carrara marble The Last Supper, around a table Priceless treasures by master craftsmen Gifted, artistic, diligent and able. Carved confessionals along each side Painted Stations of the Cross hang in between I scan the detail in The Great Window The largest stained glass that I've seen. I pray for health and happiness for my family By Our Lady of Good Counsel, as I stand alone The spire of Pugin's vision, a beacon for the faithful A graceful sanctuary for prayer, a poem in stone. (Margaret O'Driscoll.)
When you begin to abhor what you have made, it is then that your good works are beginning, since you are accusing yourself of your evil works. St. Augustine of Hippo.
