This is the will of God, who wished us to have all things through Mary, if, therefore, there is in us any hope, any grace, any salutary gift, we know it comes to us through her.

Assignment 3 - Andres Javitt
I chose to to take inspiration from both Chris and Watts pieces. Both of them include warm colors but most importantly they remind me to nature. I decided to do like a crazy representation of Bonaventure campus with the people walking in the road like "the beatles" while including the other drawing as the sun with the Bonaventure logo as the main piece of illumination. I tried to stay faithful to the colors but also wanted to add some green into it as I feel is more of my own thing while adding stuff from both authors. I loved this assignment, it was really really funny to do!

Francesco Robba, 'Altar of the Holy Cross' (1756) - Križevci, Church of the Holy Cross
“If we want to contemplate spiritual things, we need to take up the cross as if it were a book. [...] Christ Himself is this book of wisdom, who is written inside by the Father, as He comes from the power of God, and outside, when He took on a bodily form. However, this book was open on the cross, and it is this book that we have to read in order to understand the depths of God’s wisdom.” ~ St Bonaventure (Sermones de Tempore, Feria VI in Parasceve, sermo II, n. II) This Altar of the Holy Cross is the final work of the sculptor, Francesco Robba, the most proficient marble sculptor of the Baroque period in northern Croatia.
O most holy Virgin, Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ, by the overwhelming grief you experienced when you witnessed the martyrdom, the crucifixion, and the death of your divine Son, look upon me with eyes of compassion, and awaken in my heart a tender commiseration for those sufferings, as well as a sincere detestation of my sins, in order that, being disengaged from all undue affection for the passing joys of this earth, I may sigh after the eternal Jerusalem, and that henceforward all my thoughts and all my actions may be directed towards this one most desirable object: Honor, glory, and love to our divine Lord Jesus, and to the holy and immaculate Mother of God. Amen.
St Bonaventure of Bagnoreggio
O Mary, may my heart never cease to love you, and my tongue never cease to praise you.
--St Bonaventure
