The featured picture this week is an image of an antique engraving entitled “The Standard.” The courage of the Catholic priest is superbly displayed in this image. The rage of a battle is howling all around, while the priest fearlessly helps move a wounded soldier.   Why this artwork is called “The Standard,” one can only speculate. There is no visible ‘standard’ in the image so, perhaps, the intention of the artist was to display ‘The Standard’ of charity—caring for our fellow man for the sole purpose of bringing glory to God.
