A friend sent this picture my way, and it has to be one of the most beautiful renderings of the Blessed Mother I’ve seen.

It’s Our Lady of the Southern Cross, patroness of World Youth Day 2008. She is also known as Help of Christians. (By happy coincidence, her feast day is my wedding anniversary, May 24th — and we were married at St. Mary’s, in Our Lady’s Chapel, in Rockville, Maryland.)
