Focal Biblical passages for the shrine mont Retreat
1 Sam 17:1-49, David and Goliath
1 Sam 31:1-13, The Death of Saul and His Sons
1 Sam 25:2-42 David, Nabal, and Abigail
Unlike earlier sculptures, which portray David calmly staring down his enemy or standing triumphantly, Bernini’s David is taking aim at Goliath. Here, we come face-to-face with an exemplum of faith in action.
1 Sam 25:2-42 David, Nabal, and Abigail
1 Sam 31:1-13, The Death of Saul and His Sons
1 Sam 25:2-42 David, Nabal, and Abigail
In Rubens' 1620 masterpiece, Abigail, shown kneeling in the foreground, offers bread, wine, corn, raisins, and fig-cakes to David and his men. Abigail's wisdom puts both her foolish husband Nabal and David to shame.
1 Sam 31:1-13, The Death of Saul and His Sons
1 Sam 31:1-13, The Death of Saul and His Sons
1 Sam 31:1-13, The Death of Saul and His Sons
Pieter Bruegel’s painting teems with bodies and movement, like a battle scene from the Lord of the Rings. Once the eye finds Saul, one is overcome by a sense of loneliness, as if Saul and his armor-bearer float aloof.
Etching of Samuel, by Margaret Adams Parker
