Vladimir Zagitov is a contemporary Russian artist. He is a figurative painter, sometimes intriguingly abstract, who chooses bright colors and exploits dramatic points of view. Almost expressionist in quality, he is compelling, often startling, and at his most maddening he is edgy and discordant. Zagitov is visionary, not always mystical or religious. Escape into Egypt (2002) illustrates several of his strengths as a visual artist.
God the Father in heaven, have mercy on us. God the Son, Redeemer of the world, have mercy on us. God the Holy Spirit, have mercy on us. Holy Trinity, one God, have mercy on us.
Holy Mary, pray for us. Saint Joseph, pray for us. Illustrious son of David, pray for us. Light of Patriarchs, pray for us. Spouse of the Mother of God, pray for us. Guardian of the Redeemer, pray for us. Pure Guardian of the Virgin, pray for us. Provider for the Son of God, pray for us. Zealous defender of Christ, pray for us. Servant of Christ, pray for us. Minister of salvation, pray for us. Head of the Holy Family, pray for us. Joseph, most just, pray for us. Joseph, most chaste, pray for us. Joseph, most prudent, pray for us. Joseph, most brave, pray for us. Joseph, most obedient, pray for us. Joseph, most loyal, pray for us. Mirror of patience, pray for us. Lover of poverty, pray for us. Model for workers, pray for us. Glory of family life, pray for us. Guardian of virgins, pray for us. Cornerstone of families, pray for us. Support in difficulties, pray for us. Comfort of the sorrowing, pray for us. Hope of the sick, pray for us. Patron of exiles, pray for us. Patron of the afflicted, pray for us. Patron of the poor, pray for us. Patron of the dying, pray for us. Terror of demons, pray for us. Protector of the Holy Church, pray for us.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, spare us, O Lord. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, hear us, O Lord. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
He made him master of his house, and ruler of all his possessions.
Let us pray.
O God, who in your inexpressible providence were pleased to choose Saint Joseph as spouse of your most holy Mother, grant, we pray, that we, who revere him as our protector on earth, may be worthy of his heavenly intercession. Who live and reign for ever and ever.

Most depictions of Saint Joseph’s dreams show the first revelation, which is also called “The Annunciation of Joseph.”
ReplyDeleteIn the absence of any explicit cue in the artwork, we can assume that it is the first dream that is being shown. It is the default.
However, we can attribute any of Saint Joseph’s other three dreams to the artwork, absent any indication to the contrary.

Saint Joseph, Terror of Demons
ReplyDeleteSaint Joseph’s power over the spirits of darkness comes from his closeness to the Christ child.
