The world, history and humanity are constantly evolving, offering us new challenges and putting us to the test with new difficulties to overcome. Never as now we need children who with their innocence, sympathy, creativity and freedom of thought make us think about the meaning of life.
Like us, they live in the present but, better than us, they live in the future.
To explain to them where we adults have gone wrong is not at all easy, but today is our chance. We should commit ourselves to giving them the time we can’t even find for ourselves.
When the human being is faced with the great difficulties of life, he clings to faith as a possible anchor of salvation, of comfort.
The faith is not a sad thing although sometimes it can confuse us. faith is the key to love.
Easter, which is identified with the Way of the Cross, is the path of Jesus’ passion.
From the holy words of Monsignor Fisichella one learns that, if one stops only at the description of the stations, one would find oneself faced with a dramatic historical story that speaks of unspeakable suffering inflicted on an innocent man.
The eyes of faith know how to go further.
At each station one touches the meaning of God’s love that is not portrayed in front of anything. Not even death makes him desist in wanting to reveal his merciful love that embraces all and excludes no one.
The same love, to which Monsignor Fisichella refers, now we ask to express it to all children, through the drawings of the artist Alessandro Mutto.
Drawings taken from the preparatory drafts for the sculptures he created last October for the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem.
Let’s imagine together a multicolored Way of the Cross under which every word, phrase or comment will be a new personal vision of love and life.
.
A message of hope.
