As part of Mary’s month, I’d like to something written by my friend, Brother Mickey McGrath, artist and author. This article, titled We Need Images of the Black Madonna Now More Than Ever appeared in the March 5, 2018 issue of America Magazine. Below is one of the pictures that appeared with the article.

Oh I loved that article and Our Lady of Montserrat is a favorite of mine… I have been to the monastery three times, very special to me, deeply special.
I know I share a lot of Brother Mickey’s stuff but I just love it so much. He also inspires me to do my own mediocre artwork, so every time I see him anywhere I take out my sketch pad or my colored pencils.
