    JH posted well and I copied.

      The post helped us to understand/feel the pain in graphic detail.

      Earlier today I read all four gospel accounts of the events leading up to the Crucifixion, the Crucifixion and the resurrection. And reflected on them.

      I thought dearieme was inappropriate with his comments in response to JH’s post. That is because he has not found the key (yet).

        Detroit and I watched the Pope’s Via Crucis at the Colosseum in Rome last night :)

        At each station, different people carried the cross to symbolize people carrying the current crosses of pain and suffering in the world, it was very touching. At the end, the Pope said a beautiful prayer that brought us both to tears. (I had been struggling this week in my faith a bit and it was very helpful to see all those people come together in Christ).

        Then I read JH’s blog this morning. Dearie Me was being Dearie Me. What I actually found the most disheartening was a comment dissing Americans at Easter by a Catholic, just after watching the stations of the cross.

        So let’s just say as far as Christian posts this Easter, around these parts, I’d prefer to come here and be uplifted rather than JH’s – thank you :)

        Happy Easter anyway, Amfortas, from this American Episcopalian :)

        Happy Easter, Cherie and all :)

          PS – Of course by ‘uplifted’ I did not mean Christ’s crucifixion and suffering itself. I mean we are uplifted from a focus on the problems of this world to the higher message Christ gave to us.

            Thanks Chrysalis, I like to try and share a bit of light. I am glad that the Via Crucis helped you with your faith :-)

            Happy Easter to you too :-)

    I saw your last posts and I always admire the incredible art that came from the bible. It is too bad that there is so much hate in the world, something he never wanted. Love will win in the end.
