God in the Everyday–Fr Mike Delaney–The Wrong Angle (Fr Mike recalls a story about distinguished art critic, Robert Cumming, who criticised the painting by the Italian Renaissance master Filippino Lippi for its poor perspective. Then it occurred to him that the problem might be his. The painting was not just another piece of religious art hanging in a gallery, Lippi’s painting had been commissioned to hang in a place of prayer. Self-consciously, the dignified critic dropped to his knees in the public gallery before the painting and he suddenly saw what generations of art critics had missed. From his new vantage point, Robert Cumming found himself gazing up at a perfectly proportioned piece. Fr Mike wonders how many things that happen in life when, because of any range of things – busyness, prejudice, presumption – we look at things from the wrong angle.)
