Vision of St. Benedict is a vision of beauty

“Thy boundless hand will worldly bliss

Has made my cup run o’er

And ina kind and faithful friend

Has doubled all my store.” November 1992:

I have just come from Ves- pers ir in the Abbey Church, “A time,” as Basil said, “when evening approaches and day is already far spent; a time cele- brated in order that we may give thanks for what has been given us or what we have done well during the day.”

_ Thad goofed up the invita- tion to attend the Remem- brance Day services in Van- couver and then to the Seaforth Armories to visit with old comrades, by confusing my teaching days.

I was both touched and de- lighted, therefore, when three of them, Colonel alan Gray, Ian Sutherland, my former sergeant and blair Peters came all the way out to have dinner (noon) and a chat. It was no simple exercise since Colonel Gray was scarcely able to walk and scheduled for a trip into hospital on Monday, and Sgt. Sutherland had to catch the ferry back to Parksville on Vancouver Island.

I was humbled and thank- ful by their generosity of spir- it and a gap of almost 50 years disappeared in a few minutes while the fates and memories of old comrades came crowding in like birds to the nest.

They were welcomed with true Benedictine generosity and I was happy to play sub- host and we parted with con- siderable regret for other schedules and made promises for another day. It was the best gift I have had in many a day, gentlemen and I am truly grateful.

Later on that same day, my friend Father Dunstan, the Abbey’s justly famous sculptor, painter and writer, took me on a special tour of the Chapter Room (Monk’s meeting room) to see his 20th and final bas re- lief sculpture — the Vision of St. Benedict.

The project has taken 12 years of hard work and I have been fortunate in being in- volved in a small way with most of them, another reason for thankfulness. Starting with St. Michael the Archangel, protector of the church, Father Dunstan has moved from his original root cellar studio and early experi- ments to a special building and great skill.

Each time he completes an- other of these six-foot square, 600 pound sculptures, I say “This is your best yet, Father.”

And he replies, correctly, “You say that every time.”

But it is true, nonetheless, as one can see when one walks around and examines them hanging on the church walls,

hung there by an ever-increas- ingly skilled team of monks.

The creation of one of these art works is no simple task. To quote from the Volume 52, No. 1 (November 92) issue of the Monastery Publication:

“To make a sculpture, first a full-size drawing is traced ona large sheet of brown paper (the sculptures are six feet square). From this drawing the model

is fashioned in clay. A plaster cast is made from the model.

“Even though part of the plaster is mixed with styro- foam pellets to make it lighter, the mould with the clay still weighs a thousand pounds when it is flipped to removed the clay.

“The plaster mould is coated with shellac, reinforcing steel bars are bent to the contours of the sculpture, and concrete is carefully poured. The first coat

of cement is literally painted on to ensure a smooth surface.

__ “After two weeks the concrete is sufficiently cured that the plaster can be chipped off.

“After touch-up work and filling holes, each statue takes about six months of. painstak- ing work, the sculpture is ready to be hung heavy steel pegs in the concrete walls of the church.

The same technique was used to make a relief for the

chapter room, installed october 20. It represents a scene from the life of St. Benedict found in the Second Book of the Dia- logues of St. Gregory the Great. St. Benedict saw the whole world gathered in a ray of light.

“The plaque shows him raised in contemplation, while the earth hovers in pace as a small sphere above his hand. the inscription at the base comes from St. Gregory: Quia animae videnti creatorem an- gusta est omnis creturea — For to the soul which beholds the creator, all creation is circum- scribed.”

This is also the seventh an- niversary of the death of my friend, Brother Francis, the disc-jockey turned monk, who encouraged so many other can- cer patients by his serene and gallant fight. Such friends as all these and more stock up the

store of life.
