Dear Antoine,
Thank you for your email. I have visited your site and looked at all of your paintings that were available to me. I am impressed! For someone who has not had formal training as an artist they are not only beautiful to look at but convey a spiritual message that is so needed in our time of diminished reverence for our Eucharistic Lord.
The only suggestion I would make is that you give additional focus on Eucharistic adoration and reverence to the Eucharistic presence. I am not alone in calling attention to the increasing lack of reverence to the presence of our Lord in the Eucharist, as for example the failure of Catholics to genuflect on entering a pew.
God bless you, Antoine, and continue to raise the conscience and spirit of everyone through your art.
Blessings!
Most Reverend Bishop Rene Henry Gracida,
Bishop Emeritus of the Diocese of Corpus Christi
Dear Antoine and Maria Menoret,
I take the opportunity in this letter to thank you for your hard work on the last two weekends of August 2020 to put together a great Sacred Art Exhibit here at our Church hall. Your generosity and sacrifice are truly appreciated. Your paintings were beautiful and inspiring. Each painting is a Gospel story. The Holy Eucharist is at the heart of our Catholic faith. Your paintings are a great source of spiritual renewal and commitment to Christ who gives us His Self in His Body and Blood. I enjoyed listening to you in the short presentation we posted on our You Tube account.
May God bless you and your family, and fill your hearts with Peace, Love, and Faith. May you continue your ministry in preaching the transubstantiation and the presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist. I thank you again and wish you all the success.
Sincerely in Christ,
Fr. Tony Saab
Pastor, St Maron Church, Torrington CT (Maronite Catholic)
