12 JUNE 11-24, 2016 | DENVER CATHOLIC BY AARON LAMBERT T en new stained glass windows installed at Our Lady of Loreto Parish in Foxfi eld depict the mysteries of the rosary in dazzling pieces of abstract art. "[They're] not the usual depictions of the mysteries," said Monsignor Edward Buelt, pastor of Our Lady of Loreto. "They are abstract realism because the mysteries of our faith are abstract. Abstract art, by its very nature, requires that you put yourself into it in order to draw yourself out of it, and not simply stand before it." Monsignor Buelt said the response to the windows from Our Lady of Loreto parishioners has been nothing but positive. "They love them. They cry when they see them. They speak of them as stun- ning, exquisite, miraculous, marvelous," he said. "You can be engaged by them from anywhere, which is what stained glass windows are supposed to do, to teach, to engage, to call us into those mys- teries through which light shines to us."

The lilies in the fore- ground symbolize Mary (white) and Elizabeth (red). THE LUMINOUS ROSARY: THE BAPTISM IN THE JORDAN The inspiration for this depiction of Jesus setting the Jordan river ablaze at his Baptism comes from St. Ephram's Hymns of Faith, where he wrote, "Fire and Spirit are in the womb of her who bore you, Fire and Spirit are in the river in which you were baptized, Fire and Spirit are in our baptism, and in the Bread and Cup is Fire and Holy Spirit."
