“THIS IS A SACRED PLACE”

by Lebo

Born to Cuban immigrant parents and raised in South Florida, David Le Batard, aka Lebo, works across a wide variety of creative mediums and has become one of Miami’s cadre of highly sought-after muralists. A self-described “innovator of Postmodern Cartoon Expressionism” he describes cartooning as a primordial form of expression and says even the hard-edged yet organic work of Picasso after 1905 embodies the very essence of cartooning. Only blocks from one of the nation’s most vibrant arts districts the fact that Wynwood’s Jose de Diego Middle School had seen all arts programming de-funded years before was deeply disturbing to many. When a new school principal and a community activist decided to correct the situation the inaugural Re-Imagining the Arts in Wynwood (RAW) Project was born in 2014, and Lebo joined the more than three dozen artists who stepped up that first year to support arts education in Wynwood. @leboart @therawproject_

I have been away for a long time.  Busy as the devil, so to speak.  But I did want to share this pop art painting of Caridad del Cobre, Our Lady of Charity, patroness of Cuba.  It was painted by LEBO, alter ego of David Le Batard (brother of sportswriter-turned-ESPN-personality Dan Le Batard).  I’m a big fan of both Le Batards, and Our Lady of Charity is one of my favorite titles for the Blessed Virgin.

Prayer to Our Lady of Charity of Cobre, Patroness of Cuba

Most Holy Mother of Charity who came to us as a messenger of peace across the sea You are the Mother of all Cubans.

To you we come, Most Holy Mother of God to honor you with love as your children.

To your motherly heart  we entrust our desires and hopes our work and our prayers.

We pray for our torn country that we may be able to build a nation based on peace and unity.

We pray for our families that they may live in fidelity and love.

We pray for our children that they may grow strong in spirit and in body.

We pray for our young people that their faith may increase, as well as their attachment to the truth.

We pray for the sick, the homeless, the lonely, the exiled, and for all suffering souls.

We pray for the Catholic Church in Cuba, for its mission, for its priests, deacons, religious and laity.

We pray for the victory of justice and love in our country.

Mother of Charity! We place ourselves under your mantle of protection! Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus! And to Him be the glory and the power now and forever. Amen.

(Add one Our Father, three Hail Marys, and one Gloria).

Our Lady of Charity, pray for us.
