Black Madonna - Wisdom, Illumination of Mind and Protection. Her darkness represents the deepest and unknowable mystery of the Divine. At times she may come to us as the sorrowful mother who understands our most unbearable pain. "Mother of God, may I be guided by your profound and deep wisdom. May my mind be illuminated, and my heart burn with your love and compassion, so that I grow in my ability to be of service to those who are suffering and are in need. So too, may I tread consciously and lightly upon this beautiful earth." These wooden retablos come in 4 sizes. They are printed from Lynn Garlick Originals.
