Ironing and thinking
Los Angeles-based artist J. Michael Walker has produced one of the most memorable and insightful portrayals of Our Lady of Guadalupe. In his 1996 painting, Ironing, Thinking, we see Mary doing just that: busying herself with domestic chores with a slightly careworn expression on her face. In this not-ready-for-prime-time look at Our Lady, she irons her famous cloak of stars while balancing her crown on her head with simple dignity. Our Lady of Guadalupe did indeed come to represent hardworking folk with worn hands. Support the dignity of all who labor.
TODAY’S READINGS: Zechariah 2:14-17 or Revelation 11:19a; 12:1-6a, 10ab; Luke 1:39-47
“A great portent appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.”
