Yes, more "modern" than usually suits my taste, but sometimes new and beautiful can be used in the same sentence when it comes to Catholic Church art. This in one example. I especially like the centerpeice made of Our Lady and how the Apostles look to her as their mother as they receive the flame (visible above the head of each figure) of the Holy Spirit descending from the cloud above (which is not visible). This beautiful window is perfectly in keeping with the gospel:
Acts 1 And when the days of the Pentecost were accomplished, they were all together in one place: 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a mighty wind coming, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared to them parted tongues as it were of fire, and it sat upon every one of them: 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they began to speak with divers tongues, according as the Holy Ghost gave them to speak.
