I feel better now.
I sketched out Jesus. Because let’s face it, Jesus just legitimately makes me feel better.
I managed to take some pictures of these great mosaics in the apse of the basilica. Each side altar is dedicated to one of the fifteen mysteries of the rosary, connecting the mystery to a passage of the Old Testament.
Here are a few more photos I took of the Shrine the other day. Most people just take pictures of the front, the dome, and the mosaic of Christ in Majesty, but here are a couple shots of some other points of interest.
The umbraculum, which signifies that this church is a minor basilica.#catholic #catholicism (at Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception)
The Council of Ephesus definitively declared Mary the Mother of God, the Theotokos, the “God-bearer.” #catholic #catholicism (at Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception)
Our Lady of Perpetual Help, pray for us. #catholic #catholicism (at Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception)
I love coming here. #catholic #catholicism (at Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception)
Love that cannot suffer is not worthy of that name.

Pange, lingua, gloriosi
Corporis mysterium,
Sanguinisque pretiosi,
quem in mundi pretium
fructus ventris generosi
Rex effudit Gentium.Nobis datus, nobis natus
ex intacta Virgine,
et in mundo conversatus,
sparso verbi semine,
sui moras incolatus
miro clausit ordine.In supremae nocte coenae
recumbens cum fratribus
observata lege plene
cibis in legalibus,
cibum turbae duodenae
se dat suis manibus.Verbum caro, panem verum
verbo carnem efficit:
fitque sanguis Christi merum,
et si sensus deficit,
ad firmandum cor sincerum
sola fides sufficit.Tantum ergo Sacramentum
veneremur cernui:
et antiquum documentum
novo cedat ritui:
praestet fides supplementum
sensuum defectui.Genitori, Genitoque
laus et jubilatio,
salus, honor, virtus quoque
sit et benedictio:
Procedenti ab utroque
compar sit laudatio.Amen.
