The catalog essay sets the concept of the exhibition by beginning:

In answer to her prayers to understand the suffering of Christ as he was dying on the cross, St. Theresa of Avila, was given the experience of an angel piercing her heart with a golden arrow. Seventy years after her death, Bernini read her account of this experience and created his Ecstasy of St. Theresa in an effort to depict in visual form, St. Theresa’s personal apparition. In this exhibition, it was our intention to assemble works of art that attempt to make visible that which may not only be invisible, but also intimately personal.

Please go to Curious Matter to read the entire essay and view images from the exhibition.

The catalog is available at Lulu.com or from Curious Matter.
