***About THE HOY TRINTY painting by Fr A.J.Thamburaj S.J. : Three blessing-hands on a 24 rays-filled open canvas-or field: Christian message in Indian picture-language. The basic colour yellow (gold) is the colour of harvest, of joy and thus a colour of God, who is the source and spring of all joy.His light radiates forth into the whole world: 24 hours of the day, 24 Elders in the Book of Revelation-the twelve (great) ancestors of Israel and twelve Apostles-all together-place before us the saints of God of the whole world and bring together, the past, the present and the future. The raised hand signifies protection: 366 times we read in the Bible about fear and hear the call: You don’t be afraid. In all your fears you are placed under the protection of God; the fear of the Lord is the beginning wisdom.The hand that depicts (promises) protection is painted in green colour-that is the colour of life, of fertility, of creation. Human beings who are united with the living God are like trees planted on the banks of streams, like bunch of grapes on the vine-stalk. On the green hand, a fish is painted, almost like an eye. The eye of the fish never closes itself. Our God never sleeps, never slumbers, and he never loses himself in day-dreams. The knowledge of God, the Creator is the life-principle of Christians. In him we live, move and are. Red is the colour of fire that burns (consumes) all that is unholy; it is the colour of blood, that the Lamb of God sheds, for all that is unholy. The spiral stands for wind; from that spiral breaks forth five flames. These symbols stand for the Holy Spirit, who blows where he wills and generates power and energy. The Spirit of God sets the people of God in movement and nothing can resist his power. Winds and flames are messengers of God. The heavens, the sea and infinity are blue. The limitless love of Jesus, the love without any measure is also blue. The unceasing love of God is shown by means of hand pointing downward-so also the drops of blood falling to the ground (earth) from the nail wounds of crucifixion; it is in the crucuifixion, the righteousness of God is balanced with his mercy. That place where the presence of God touches is holy ground-in order to remain in bodily contact with the earth; one removes the footwear when one worships God just as Moses did. A dark line drawn around the three hands: in this opaque colour of mystery, one sees the relationship with the (mystery) of the Holy Trinity, comprising the Creator, the Spirit and the Redeemer. Our life is always surrounded (embraced) by the ever present, protecting, and empowering and guiding hands of the Triune God.My time is always in your hands.The whole world is full of your glory. -Commentary by John Gnanabaranam, Lutheran Bishop.[This painting was printed on the cover page of his book in German: Mein Jesus, Mache mich neu.]
CONSECRATION TO THE TRINITY
O everlasting and Triune God,
I consecrate myself wholly to you today.
Let all my days offer you ceaseless praise,
My hands move to the rhythm of your impulses,
My feet be swift in your service,
My voice sing constantly of you,
My lips proclaim your message,
My eyes perceive you everywhere,
And my ears be attuned to your inspirations.
May my intellect be filled with your wisdom,
My will be moved by your beauty,
My heart be enraptured with your love,
And my soul be flooded with your grace.
Grant that every action of mine be done
For your greater glory
And the advancement of my salvation. Amen.
