Pie Pelicane.
"O good and loving pelican, Jesus my Lord! Unclean I am, but cleanse me in Thy Blood; Of which a single drop, for sinners spilt, Is ransom for a world’s entire guilt" – from St Thomas Aquinas' hymn, 'Adoro Te devote'. My sermon for today can be read here. This beautiful gilt sculpture of the pelican in piety is in Westminster Cathedral, the Metropolitan Cathedral of the Most Precious Blood. It reminds us that Christ shed his Blood for our salvation, that we might be saved from sin and death and so have eternal life with Him in heaven.
