This study reads the short stories The Legend of the Dying Wanton and Faith, Love, Time, and Dr. Lazaro, authored by two of the greatest Philippine writers Nick Joaquin and Gregorio Brillantes respectively, from the lenses of the Catholic Imagination. Using descriptive and interpretative methods and drawing from the seminal ideas of Mary Reichardt and Carlos Aureus, the analysis yields the presence of sacramentality,
redemption, grace, and conversion. The texts show how Catholicism, as a cultural and theological- literary framework, foreground a renewed discourse on the problem of evil and the grace of conversion grounded in Philippine realities.

In โ€œStill Life with Twelve Sunflowers, after Scrolling,โ€ the poem starts with Van Goghโ€™s twelve sunflowersโ€”lively, bending, not perfectly arranged. Then it moves inward: the flowersโ€™ bronze-gold color becomes a way to talk about grief that feels thick like paint, and desire that jumps beyond the frame. Just as suddenly, the poem looks outside: the rain has stopped, the sky is topaz, the soil is ready for planting. The speaker shuts a laptop and whispers two broken linesโ€”โ€œArt isโ€”โ€ and โ€œLife isโ€”.โ€ By leaving those lines unfinished, the poem asks us to hold meaning somewhere between the painted flowers and the real world waiting outside.

His poem is published in

The art writing is about how Julie Luchโ€™s activism bleeds into religious artโ€”a genre that has largely lost its appeal in the contemporary art scene. Borrowing from the visual language of the Passion of Christ, she gives grief weight and the women who mourn a story: the three familiar Marys embody containment, eruption, and endurance. Then Lluch adds a fourth Maryโ€”faceless, folded inward, and unbound by scripture. In doing so, Lluch shifts the narrative. Her group of sculptural works โ€œLamentations, a Preludeโ€ is no longer only about Christโ€™s suffering, but about those who process violence in and through their own bodies. Think of Jennilyn Olayres, Inas Abu Maamar, Maria Meza, and the many other women who have grieved in public view. Lluch turns religious art into something less about devotion and more about those who remain to carry the bodies left behind.

Her art writing is published in

This paper focuses on the aspects of the Catholic sacramental imagination as seen in eight poems from National Artist Gรฉmino H. Abadโ€™s latest poetry collection, The Light in Oneโ€™s Blood (UP Press, 2021). This essay attempts to show through textual analysis how Abadโ€™s verses reflect a distinct Catholic spirituality by highlighting key themes found in the poems, such as seeing nature as divine revelation, using poetry as a form of prayer of direct address, verbalizing faith and belief, yearning for the transcendent, and hungering for God.
