1.

The bridal couple
painted by Rembrandt   the gesture
of infinite love

  

2.

Attending his wife
the man recognises in her
the supreme gift of love

3.

A love so tender
it reaches the heart of God
and hardly dares breath

  

4.

Moment of awareness
when the woman knows herself
the beloved of God

5.

The beloved of God
and on earth of one man  she
knows herself treasured

  

6.

Then heaven and earth
are no longer divided
since love is of God

7.

This redeeming love
rippling across the universe
until the end of time

  

8.

The face of my Lord
on the universe portrayed
in love with all creation

9.

Autumn evening
the compassionate Samaritan
tends a wounded man

  

10.

Christ at Emmaus
the divine task accomplished
God revealed on earth

11.

The dark silhouette
leaning backwards is Jesus
returned from the grave

  

12.

The inner vision
of a world with grace restored
Rembrandt in old age
