Buenos Días! Good Morning!

By A.Vonn Hartung

The rooster represents for me the hope that morning brings in welcoming the day. The colors of the painting are as bright as the rooster’s call. The flowers— anthuriums— turn into hearts, signifying the power of God’s love. The rooster is also a symbol of conscience, as we are reminded of how St. Peter was awakened by its call, reflected on his failings, and was redeemed. The day offers us the possibilities to renew ourselves and to help others.
