![“Pastel Sunset of the Venetian Canal”…<br />
<br />
I never knew quite where I was going in Venice, but just followed the canal, or became trapped by the canals with no way of crossing and had to backtrack. Probably not the best way to traverse the Venice Lagoon. On my last evening in Venice, I accidentally stumbled on Ponte dei Scalzi, the "bridge of the barefoot [monks],” one of only four bridges in Venice to span the Grand Canal. The bridge connects the Sestieri of Santa Croce and Cannaregio. I set up my camera facing east in view of the dome and campanile of Chiesa di San Geremia, which contains the relics of Saint Lucy, the patron saint of our eyes. After taking many images of the descending sun, I decided to follow the sun by way of the church of San Geremia taking a hard left northwest along the Cannaregioa Canal and taking this photo of the setting sun from the bridge, Ponte delle Guglie. After sunset, I found my way back to my favorite restaurant, Hosteria Al Vecio Bragosso. Che Dio Benedica l'Italia! Luke 15:4-6: “What man among you having a hundred sheep and losing one of them would not leave the ninety-nine in the desert and go after the lost one until he finds it? And when he does find it, he sets it on his shoulders with great joy and, upon his arrival home, he calls together his friends and neighbors and says to them, ‘Rejoice with me because I have found my lost sheep.’](https://www.dinocarbetta.com/img-get2/I0000YduRz0qChxE/fit=200x200/fill=/g=G0000o3P89_ICUDw/I0000YduRz0qChxE.jpg)
![“Fishing boat resting in front of the Sant'Anna Sorrento Restaurant - Painting by Dino Carbetta”…<br />
<br />
Duomo di Sorrento is one of my favorite hidden treasures in Italy. On our last day on the Bellissimo Amalfi Coast, Father Peak offered a venerable morning Mass for our semi-exhausted group of Pilgrims upon the High Altar. Hallelujah, it was our first free day of the 2019 Pilgrimage and most were heading to Capri. I convinced my fellow Pilgrim Patrick that Marina Grande was the preferred location to commemorate this rain-threatened day. Sunday afternoon in this tiny hallowed port on the Mediterranean was bustling, not with tourists, but with energetic and unassuming locals. The misty skies were vulnerable all day with the threat of rain, but the reluctant sun penetrated the clouds for a few fortuitous moments. God painted the skies for brief moments with luminous pastel elements of abstract color. A lonely boat gleamed in the late evening sun resting upon the wet sand. Saint Matthew’s account of Peter trying to walk on water came to mind: “Peter said to him in reply, ‘Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” He said, “Come.” Peter got out of the boat and began to walk on the water toward Jesus. But when he saw how [strong] the wind was he became frightened; and, beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith,* why did you doubt?” After they got into the boat, the wind died down. Those who were in the boat did him homage, saying, “Truly, you are the Son of God.” (Matt: 14: 28-33) We left after lunch only to humbly return capturing the evening seascape a few hours before our reservation with the entire Pilgrimage group for a perfect dinner at my favorite restaurant, Ristorante di “Zi'Ntonio Mare.](https://www.dinocarbetta.com/img-get2/I0000DNktF818OyQ/fit=200x200/fill=/g=G0000o3P89_ICUDw/I0000DNktF818OyQ.jpg)
![“Be Still And Know That I Am God! - Painting by Dino Carbetta” …<br />
<br />
A powerful and profound verse from the Bible, [Psalm 46:10]. This verse encourages us to find solace in stillness and to recognize the divine presence in our lives. It is easy to become consumed by the noise and distractions of the world. But taking a moment to be still, to meditate, and to reflect can provide a profound sense of peace and connection with God. This mystical figure of Christ embodies a powerful symbol of hope, love, and salvation. His serene countenance exudes a sense of tranquility and a divine presence that transcends our earthly existence. The interplay of light and shadows within the painting accentuates the contrast between the mundane and the celestial, reminding us of the eternal and unchanging nature of God. The depiction of Jesus Christ is tender and compassionate, radiating love and understanding, and offering solace to those who seek His presence. The background, reminiscent of a serene landscape or a heavenly realm, encourages us to pause, take a deep breath, and be still. Art possesses the incredible ability to transcend differences, uniting people in shared emotions and inspiring them to seek deeper meaning and purpose in their lives. Immerse yourself in the written words and find inspiration to connect with the divine. Through the kaleidoscope of these creative expressions, we find ourselves endowed with a remarkable power to touch countless hearts. Amid life's tumultuous trials and ceaseless commotion, remember that there exists a sanctified hush, Within the canvas of life, every stroke of our existence is imbued with purpose, every word a vessel for the profound and the inspirational. As we navigate the labyrinthine corridors of creation, we uncover the hidden gems of truth, beauty, and grace that have been artfully scattered throughout our existence. May the intense gaze of Jesus be a source of inspiration in your life.](https://www.dinocarbetta.com/img-get2/I0000tEcLuvzj7mI/fit=200x200/fill=/g=G0000o3P89_ICUDw/I0000tEcLuvzj7mI.jpg)
![“Giving seed to the One who sows, Snow - Painting by Dino Carbetta”…<br />
<br />
[Isaiah 55:10-13] “Yet just as from the heavens the rain and snow come down And do not return there till they have watered the earth, making it fertile and fruitful, Giving seed to the one who sows and bread to the one who eats, So shall my word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to me empty but shall do what pleases me, achieving the end for which I sent it. Yes, in joy you shall go forth, in peace you shall be brought home; Mountains and hills shall break out in song before you, and all trees of the field shall clap their hands. In place of the thornbush, the cypress shall grow, instead of nettles, the myrtle. This shall be to the LORD’s renown, as an everlasting sign that shall not fail.”](https://www.dinocarbetta.com/img-get2/I0000y7sGUf0wTnY/fit=200x200/fill=/g=G0000o3P89_ICUDw/I0000y7sGUf0wTnY.jpg)
![“Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe - Painting by Dino Carbetta” …<br />
<br />
Colossians 1, 12-20: “Giving thanks to the Father, who has made you fit to share in the inheritance of the holy ones in light. He delivered us from the power of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, In whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For in him were created all things in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things were created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. He is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he himself might be preeminent. For in him all the fullness was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile all things for him, making peace by the blood of his cross [through him], whether those on earth or those in heaven.” We once declared that the manifold troubles afflicting our world stem from the widespread exclusion of Jesus Christ and His sacred law from the lives of many. We observed that these values were marginalized, both in personal matters and in the realm of politics. Moreover, we asserted that as long as individuals and nations resisted the governance of our Savior, the prospect of enduring peace among nations remained dim. We encouraged men to seek the peace of Christ within the Kingdom of Christ, a commitment we pledged to uphold to the best of our ability. We believed that in the Kingdom of Christ, a profound and lasting peace could be best reestablished and firmly grounded through the revival of our Lord's Empire.](https://www.dinocarbetta.com/img-get2/I0000IAb392dIz6w/fit=200x200/fill=/g=G0000o3P89_ICUDw/I0000IAb392dIz6w.jpg)
![“Winter through the illuminated medieval gates scene of the Church of the Assumption of Mary on Lake Bled, Slovenia - Painting by Dino Carbetta”…<br />
<br />
The picturesque and incredibly famous Island of Lake Bled is only 180 miles from Venice and ninety-three miles from Trieste, Italy by car. According to written sources, the first masonry church on the island, a three-nave Romanesque Basilica, was consecrated by the Aquilean patriarch Pellegrino in 1142. In the 15th century, it was rebuilt in the Gothic style: a new presbytery, a freestanding bell tower, and the main altar were built. The renovated single-nave church was consecrated in 1465 by the first bishop of Ljubljana. In 1509 it was damaged by an earthquake to such an extent that it required thorough renovation in Baroque style. Only the frescoes in the presbytery and a wooden statue of the Virgin Mary, which probably adorned the main altar, were preserved from the previous Gothic church. The present form of the church dates from the 17th century when it was renovated after another earthquake. The main altar with its rich gold-plated carving dates from 1747. On the central altarpiece, the Virgin Mary is shown seated, with the donor of the Bled estate, Henry II, and his wife Kunigunda at her side. The side altars, consecrated to St. Sebastian, St. Magdalena, and St. Anna, were made at the end of the 17th century. The present tower is 177’ high and has three bells. Like the church, the other buildings, the walls, and the monumental staircase (99 stairs) were preserved. The wishing bell…It is said that whoever rings the bell and thereby gives honor to Virgin Mary, has the wish granted. [Psalm 132:8] “Arise, LORD, come to your resting place, you and your mighty ark.”](https://www.dinocarbetta.com/img-get2/I0000naaU8RprMd4/fit=200x200/fill=/g=G0000o3P89_ICUDw/I0000naaU8RprMd4.jpg)

![“Golden Hour Crucifixion – Painting by Dino Carbetta”…<br />
<br />
I consider this magnificent rear view of the High Altar in St. Anthony’s Basilica looking toward Donatello’s very famous “Crucifix in Padua” one of my few forbidden and miraculous images of my 2019 Pilgrimage to Italy. I was unaware of the mere size and ancient grandeur of the basilica begun in 1233 but found myself mystified by the aura surrounding it and especially the heavenly altar. The original arrangement is of a three-dimensional 'sacred conversation' with the six statues of the saints – Francis, Anthony, Justina, Daniel, Louis, and Prosdocimus – positioned around the “Madonna with Child” under a dome supported by eight columns and arches, all bronzed by the famous Renaissance Tuscan sculptor Donatello. We Pilgrims, paralyzed in capture and armed only with ‘whispers’ in our ears to hear the Italian tour guide, followed intently from brilliant chapel to chapel. Deceptively, I found myself directly behind the elevated “High Altar,” and as I curiously climbed the steps toward the locked Iron Gate, Donatello’s celestial bronze crucifix began to appear. This is the story of my experience with the "High altar crucifix from the back of the Papal Basilica of St. Anthony of Padua"... The crucifix was centered at the bottom of the image and small. I decided to paint the crucifix using the original silhouette and front illumination. I added a magnificent sunset or “Golden Hour” to highlight the Crucifix. “yet I live, no longer I, but Christ lives in me; insofar as I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God who has loved me and given himself up for me.” [Galatians 2:20]](https://www.dinocarbetta.com/img-get2/I0000JF5qhMiAUvM/fit=200x200/fill=/g=G0000o3P89_ICUDw/I0000JF5qhMiAUvM.jpg)
![“A Million Faces of Jesus by Dino Carbetta – Resplendent”…<br />
<br />
“God of every nation and people, from the very beginning of creation you have made manifest your love: when our need for a Savior was great you sent your Son to be born of the Virgin Mary. To our lives, he brings joy and peace, justice, mercy, and love.” Since early childhood, my fascination with the face of Christ resulted in a multitude of sketches, drawings, and photographs. Today, my mind’s eye continues this perception in wonderment. I yearn to see, feel, and touch this beatific vision. Blessed with humble skills, this is my current vision after three years of introspection and change of the face of Christ. I know that in heaven the just will see God by direct intuition, clearly and distinctly. Scripture and theology tell us that the blessed see God face to face. And because this vision is immediate and direct, it is also exceedingly clear and distinct. Battle against Evil: Finally, draw your strength from the Lord and from his mighty power. Put on the armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the tactics of the devil. For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the heavens. Therefore, put on the armor of God, that you may be able to resist on an evil day and, having done everything, to hold your ground. So stand fast with your loins girded in truth, clothed with righteousness as a breastplate, and your feet shod in readiness for the gospel of peace. In all circumstances, hold faith as a shield, to quench all [the] flaming arrows of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. EPHESIANS, 6:10-17](https://www.dinocarbetta.com/img-get2/I0000LMU7ONqpoDE/fit=200x200/fill=/g=G0000o3P89_ICUDw/I0000LMU7ONqpoDE.jpg)
![“Apostle, Saint Andrew In front of his Duomo of Sant'Andrea - Painting by Dino Carbetta” …<br />
<br />
Embarking on a rain-soaked ferry journey along the picturesque coast, I made my way to the enchanting seaside town of Amalfi. Normally bustling with tourists transported from everywhere, the Duomo di Amalfi found itself relatively serene on this dreary day. A sacred haven has graced this Amalfi site since the year 596 AD; the ninth-century structure still stands resolute. In the early 13th century, a new cathedral emerged beside the ancient one, providing a dignified resting place for St. Andrew the Apostle. Modern interventions have exposed fragments of the original church, inviting contemplation of bygone eras. St. Andrew, the brother of Saint Peter and a cherished disciple of Christ was also a follower of John the Baptist. Their calling unfolded on the shores of the Sea of Galilee: “As [Jesus] was walking by, he saw two brothers, Simon (Peter), and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea; they were fishermen. He said to them, ‘Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.’ At once they left their nets and followed him” (Matthew 4:18-20). Descending near the east end of the Duomo, a staircase leads to the Crypt of St. Andrew, where his revered relics rest upon the central altar. Adorned with magnificent Baroque murals dating back to 1660, the crypt provides a sacred space for reflection. Kneeling in prayer within this splendid crypt, befitting the memory of the apostle martyred on an X-shaped crucifix, my thoughts meandered into the profound nature of this chosen man turned Disciple and Saint. As I circled to the rear of the altar, I found myself bathed in the eternal light and relics of Saint Andrew. With each prayer, I sensed the essence and presence of this selfless apostle. Much like other sanctuaries and churches across Italy, where saints hail from every corner, I was overwhelmed by deep emotion and an abundance of heartfelt spiritual joy!"](https://www.dinocarbetta.com/img-get2/I00001pdSDmwiFP4/fit=200x200/fill=/g=G0000o3P89_ICUDw/I00001pdSDmwiFP4.jpg)
