Just as her pierced heart mourned the death of Jesus, so now she grieves for the sufferings of the crucified poor and for the creatures of this world laid waste by human power. Completely transfigured, she now lives with Jesus, and all creatures sing of her fairness. She is the Woman, \u201cclothed in the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars\u201d (<i>Rev<\/i> 12:1). Carried up into heaven, she is the Mother and Queen of all creation. In her glorified body, together with the Risen Christ, part of creation has reached the fullness of its beauty. She treasures the entire life of Jesus in her heart (cf. <i>Lk <\/i>2:19,51), and now understands the meaning of all things. Hence, we can ask her to enable us to look at this world with eyes of wisdom.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One year ago today, December 8, 2015, this striking light show on the fa\u00e7ade of St. Peter&#8217;s Basilica, &#8220;Fiat Lux,&#8221; heightened our awareness of &#8220;our common home&#8221; earth (cf. <i>Laudato Si&#8217;).<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false},"categories":[362,187],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-35069","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-saints-mary","category-social-justice"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Fiat Lux! - Home<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/index.php\/2016\/12\/08\/fiat-lux\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Fiat Lux! - Home\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"One year ago today, December 8, 2015, this striking light show on the fa\u00e7ade of St. Peter&#039;s Basilica, &quot;Fiat Lux,&quot; heightened our awareness of &quot;our common home&quot; earth (cf.
