Jesus

In the darkest places. What does this look like to you? It is a scrap heap of schrapnel and armaments from the Bosnian/Balkan war. In Bosnia now there is a town called Medjugorje where war orphans have been looked after in a place called "Mother's Village" now under the care of Franciscan Father SVET. If you turn this pile of schrapnel and armanents on it's side axis to the left you see a hanging crucifix. That is how it is standing in the chapel in the heart of this orphanage. Palm Sunday we see Jesus riding triumphantly on a humble donkey into town hailed by all as a miracle working hero. A week later he is strung up to die in humiliating fashion after an occupying power tortured him to near death by merciless flogging. This cross stands in reminder that Jesus turns War into Resurrection. Not even death can hold him down. Not even War, Not even Torture. What could be a better basis for Hope.
