Light is not something you necessarily see; it is something that allows you to see other things./La luz no es algo que necesariamente ves; es algo que te permite ver otras cosas.—Richard Rohr, OFM
“The radical symbol of the Cross has lost much of its shocking, paradoxical impact,” Daylesford Abbey in Pennsylvania wrote in their Stations of the Cross booklet. “We see the Cross hanging on walls, towering above churches and suspended from one another’s necks in precious gold. The Cross has become a thing of beauty—as it should—for without the sacrifice made on the Cross there would be no hope of eternal happiness with God.”
We continue with the first section of stanza 4 of Gertrud von le Fort’s poem, Passion:
And your voice speaks:
I will sing a Gloria that shall fill the top of my towers
with the clangor of their bells.
Praise the Lord all sorrow of the earth!
Let the impoverished praise Him, and those who are in exile,
let the disappointed praise Him, and the disinherited,
let Him be praised by all whom nothing satisfies.
Be He praised by the bright torment of the spirit, and by
the dark torment of nature.
Be He praised by the holy torment of love.
Be He praised by the solitude of the soul and by the soul’s
captivity...
Showcasing SHA talent: Our anonymous 7th grader shows us how light allows us to see other things.
