George Herbert’s poem, focused on unconditional love, is a fitting introduction to eight stunning paintings by Köder that draw us into the mystery of the Eucharist.
Sieger Köder’s vibrant colours and striking images attract the eye and reveal his insights into the Bible stories. In this book, Magdalen Lawler’s clear reflections on some of these paintings speak to the heart and draw the reader to focus a “contemplative gaze on the central figure of Jesus.” The language throughout is inspirational, drawing on the Hebrew Scriptures, the New Testament, Church documents and Jewish worship.
The prayerful poetry of Tom McGuinness enhances the text. The paintings and the prayers widen our vision to include the current images of suffering and need in our modern world as displayed in the media. Drawing on her long experience of guiding others in prayer, Magdalen here enriches our appreciation of the overwhelming generous gift of God; Jesus’ very self in the Eucharist. The Manna offered by this book will enrich meditation throughout the Jubilee Year of Mercy and beyond.
