In reflecting upon these images created in stained glass, we may consider how each is connected in time over the millennia and also in space with thousands or hundreds of thousands of other churches throughout the world. We may consider universal themes. We may find ourselves to be the ones nourished by the four waters of Saints Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, the rivers of Eden in a paradise ever present and to come. It is hoped that these descriptions and reflections upon the holy lives shown around us in colored glass will help us remember some of their transforming stories as well as the transforming stories in our own lives.
We are all invited to reflect upon the meaning, the significance of these windows for us individually, for our family or families, for us all at the Church of St. Ann and for all people throughout the world, for all creation. May we each offer our own prayer inspired by reflection on the windows shown here.
