Meditation Icons have been described as windows to the divine. Those who take time to meditate on the divine realities expressed through the paintings, do so with the inner eye of the soul reaching beyond the representation to the truth it represents. Meditation can be simply a quiet observing in silence and wonder. Words are not necessary. Perhaps this is the best meditation of all.
Meditation can also inspire prayer to share with others.
We invite you to reflect on Our Lady of Tenderness with us. Mary, Mother of God, The gentle tenderness you share with your child is a quiet, strong thing reflected from your image. There is no distance between his soft, but total embrace and you. He loves you. You are molded as one.
