Quote of the Day

Last updated on: December 11, 2009 at 6:10 am By Pat McNamara

The work for God goes on quite simply in this way; one does not always have to wait for something out of the ordinary. The all-important thing is to keep your eyes on what comes from God and to make way for it to come into being here on earth. If you always try to be heavenly and spiritual-minded, you won’t understand the everyday work God has for you to do. But if you embrace what is to come from... Read more

Quote of the Day

Last updated on: December 10, 2009 at 5:45 am By Pat McNamara

The Christian Mysteries are an indivisible whole. If we become immersed in one, we are led to all the others. Thus the way from Bethlehem leads inevitably to Golgotha, from the crib to the cross. When the Blessed Virgin brought the Child to the temple, Simeon prophesied that her sould would be pierced by a sword, that this child was set for the fall and resurrrection of many, for a sign that would be contradicted. His prophecy announced the Passion,... Read more

Paolo Uccello (1397-1475)

Last updated on: December 10, 2009 at 5:44 am By Pat McNamara

Paolo Uccello was an Italian painter and a mathematician who was notable for his pioneering work on visual perspective in art. Giorgio Vasari in his book Lives of the Artists wrote that Uccello was obsessed by his interest in perspective and would stay up all night in his study trying to grasp the exact vanishing point. He used perspective in order to create a feeling of depth in his paintings and not, as his contemporaries, to narrate different or succeeding... Read more

Last updated on: December 10, 2009 at 5:40 am By Pat McNamara

Francis William Petre was a prominent New Zealand-born architect based in Dunedin. Before his time, 19th-century New Zealand architecture was dominated by an almost institutionalized Gothic revival style, used by the British Empire for its far-flung colonies. Petre, one of the first of New Zealand’s native-born architects, played an important part in guiding it towards the Palladian and Renaissance styles of southern Europe, which were more suited to New Zealand’s climate than Gothic. Able to work competently in a wide... Read more
