Back when I was teaching Sunday school to teens, I planned a lesson on saints. The class was at 7:00 pm. My plan was to take the class over to the church and explain each of the stained glass windows. I thought it important that people should know their own parish church.
Arrangements were made, e.g., doors unlocked, lights on, etc. I even requested parents to come to help guide the students across the busy intersection, getting to the church.
Picture this:
The entire class, plus chaperones, entering the church
We all gather in the middle of the aisle
We look around us towards the tall windows
What do we see?
Pitch black, unlit, darkness!!! :-(
Stained glass windows only show up in sunlight!!
This through me for a loop. There went 99% of my lesson plan. Thank God, I remembered this. Now, that I am preparing to bring my OCIA class for a tour of the church, I won't spend much time on the windows. There are many other features in our beautiful church to talk about--tabernacle, sanctuary, candles, fonts, pictures, etc.
Satan is known as a destroyer, destructor--just a wicked, miserable creature.
