Meaning:
Inspired by a meditation on the Precious Blood of Jesus by St. Albert the Great, this painting is a poetic illustration of the reality, meaning, and beauty found in the interconnection between the Blood of Jesus contained in the chalice, His pierced Heart, and the act of Adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament. This is illustrated through the depiction of a monstrance, an anatomical heart, and a chalice. In an allegorical manner, the Host traditionally exposed in the monstrance is here replaced by the Blood of Christ, which pours into the chalice. Simultaneously, the face of the monstrance is an anatomical representation of the pierced Heart of Jesus. This hybrid sacred vessel is set in an opened altar niche, surrounded by various Eucharistic motifs.
