Stealing Past the Watchful Dragons

Far from being an escape from reality, art can be an invitation to align with reality, both for the maker and the recipient. But developing a taste for reality requires both courage and good cheer. The life of Saint Lawrence, patron saint of comedians, will provide a starting point for a discussion of courage, humor, holiness, and creativity.

Do you write, sing, play music, paint, sculpt, dance, etc., but you’re afraid to say you’re an artist? You are not alone!
