Did you give up Lent for Lent?

"Stations of the Cosmic Christ"
By Matthew Fox and Marc Andrus
Artists M.C. Richards and Ullrrich Javier Lemus

Richard Rohr, Marianne Williamson, and Caroline Myss each wrote a glowing advance for this book. The fact that these three divergent authors would converge to support Matthew Fox’s latest book speaks volumes about the genuine uniqueness of ideas and art found within the covers of this beautiful book. And then throw in Episcopal Bishop Marc Andrus and you have a theological explosion of color and imagination.

Fox and Andrus bring to us the perfect example of how Interfaith conversations intersect best within the context of spiritual mysticism, science, and art. And the artists, M.C. Richards and Ullrrich Javier Lemus are magical. “God is the eye…God is the dragon…God is exciting.”

“Stations of the Cosmic Christ” also offers some spiritual practices for your spiritual pilgrimage. Some you may be familiar with—others not so much. But even if you’ve tried them all—I imagine you might have a different experience when used in conjunction with the meditions and art in this book.

If you’re into Lent, this is the book your church probably won’t want you to read; but it’s the book you want to. For those of you who still practice Lent, “Stations” will shine a new light on your spiritual practices. And if you gave up Lent for Lent, the “Cosmic Christ” may be your portal into the ancient/future mysticism of hidden arcana. I love this little piece of art.
