Gloria!

In the depths of the heavens advances a veiled figure, scarcely visible. It is not shadow, but light, a face of fire, a mane of clouds, a gaze that pierces the ages. It is the “Lion of Judah,” Christ in His glory. Not the humiliated man, but the eternal King, the one who reigns beyond time and worlds. This painting unveils that majesty. The colors burst forth like hosannas, the stars glimmer like choirs of angels. At the center, radiance springs forth, not to crush, but to illuminate. The lion looks symbolically to the right, toward the future of the world. His gaze is not menace: it is promise. Promise that history is not abandoned, that Justice watches beyond the tumult, that Hope shines even in the night. “Gloria!” It is the song that rises from creatures and galaxies, the song of all life turned toward its Source. It is the praise that transcends tongues and ages, the cry of love answering the First Love. And whoever contemplates this canvas knows the heavens are not empty. They are inhabited by a Presence, gentle and royal, guiding the universe toward its fullness. “Gloria!” Not merely a word, but the beginning of a phrase: “Gloria in Excelsis Deo!” It is a cosmic vibration: a light that traverses eternity, making of our hearts living temples.
