Welcome to the Radiant Light online Art Gallery of religious paintings by Elizabeth Wang.
Title:
A departed soul (a good person) emerged from a thin cocoon of self-love, and was all the while speeding towards Heaven's glory.

Title:
Some hearts are so cluttered with vain desires that Christ's praise cannot stream up to the Father from their souls.
Code: T-00865-BW-X2
Title:
The less we cling to our own desires, the more easily can Christ clothe us in His own virtues and beauty.
Code: T-01126-BW
Title:
In Purgatory we can emerge from self-love and speed towards the glory of Heaven
Code: T-01486-OL
Title:
Christ told me how little the Cross is mentioned by preachers and teachers today: the Cross on which He suffered because of the grievous sins no longer mentioned. He is grieving, too, because people say that devotion to His Mother is old fashioned, and because Catholic school children are often taught more about self-esteem than humility.
Code: T-08485-CW
Title:
A soul who is absorbed in itself, devoid of warmth towards its fellow creatures, is in a dangerous state. It resembles the frozen wastes of the Arctic, where there is little life or joy or hope.
Code: T-06694B-BW
Title:
Some people are so engrossed in their own interests that it is only when an apparent disaster tears a jagged hole in their hearts or in the fabric of their lives that they look up, yearning for help - and allow the Holy Spirit, unceasingly ready to help, to bring light, truth and consolation into their lives.
Code: T-09203-CW
Title:
Jesus is the 'Lamb of God' we adore at Mass. Jesus, Who sacrificed Himself to save us from our sins, was once a flesh and blood baby, like those being sacrificed today by abortion, often on the 'altar' of convenience and self-love, though some young women act in terror or ignorance.
Code: T-09684-CW-V1
Title:
Each of us must 'climb' to Heaven in faith, hope and love, if we wish to reach glory, and avoid the smoke of Hell which lies below. With humility we can hope to persevere to the end, and to avoid lukewarmness, despair or self-satisfaction.
Code: T-06691-BW
Title:
Whenever we intercede for someone, in Jesus' name, it's as though a ray of light and grace from Heaven pierces the dark 'cloud' of sin and self-love over our world, to touch the life of someone in need of help.
Code: T-07711B-BW
Title:
We must never forget how powerful are the sacraments. Death is the 'cut-off' point: the moment in which we lose our ability to decide for God, or against Him. There are few death-bed conversions. Usually, as people live, so they die, either loving God or focussed upon their own desires. This is all the more reason for asking a priest to anoint a sick or dying person. Christ, through this holy sacrament, can free from sin someone who was about to fall into Hell.
Code: T-11972-CW
Title:
Where abortion is freely available, many young people have adopted a hedonistic outlook, supposing that if they want to get drunk, it's their right; if they unexpectantly conceive babies, they can get rid of them; and if the Government wants them to stop having babies, they should extend the provision of free contraceptives.
Code: T-10523N-CW
Title:
The sins and self-love shown in our world cover our world like an all-enveloping cloud. Wherever someone acts in pure charity, it's as if a gap is made in the cloud; and God's light can shine upon earth in a difficult situation, for needy people.
Code: T-07711A-BW
Title:
The least scrap of pride or self-righteousness prevents God's light from pouring within the soul, as surely as when the sun is eclipsed by the moon.
Code: T-01654-BW

Title:
We 'worship' ourselves by fulfilling only our own plans and ambitions, with little thought for God's wishes. If we idolise ourselves we shall have little possibility of being with God in Eternity.

Title:
Christ asks us to avoid all pride and vainglory. He wants everyone to know how much He loves each one of us; but He does not want priests or teachers to encourage children to start the day by saying: "I am great, I am wonderful, I am proud of being me!" He asks us to aim for humility, rather than concentrating on self-esteem.
Code: T-11856B-CW
Title:
Children are in moral and spiritual danger - as if near the edge of the Abyss - wherever educationalists and catechists work harder to boost self-esteem than to teach the true Faith, and where they leave out talk of sin and repentance, Heaven and Hell. They should give firm warnings against immorality, drunkenness, pornography and violence.
Code: T-12228-CW
Title:
When people have such an elevated self-regard, and, in pride, insist on fulfilling their own desires and ambitions even if this means overturning the good work of other people, they walk away from the sunlight of a healthy society into a cloudy area where people become confused about morality and ignore the laws of God.
