Love Windows

When you start memorizing Scripture as a child, "God is love" in 1 John 4:8 is a good place to start.

Just a few verses earlier, in 1 John 4:1, we are called to "test the Spirits to see whether they are from God." LOVE is that test. Where love is, God is.

All church windows should therefore be "love windows." God's love shines in on God's people, and when we look out those windows to the world, we see the world in the heart-shape of God's love for all--without exception.

Most church windows are either rectangles or neo-Gothic arches. Are there any architects out there who could design "love windows"? What a wonderful and constant reminder that would be!

This is St. Mary's Catholic Church in Mt. Angel, Oregon.
