Let us walk with Jesus like the disciples on the road to Emmaus listening and learning from Him. He has the words of eternal life.

Resurrecting an old post: Good Friday Gift from Hilaire Belloc and Jacques Tissot
I wrote this in 2019 shortly after the Notre Dame fire. I find this crucifixion one of the most poignant. Mary reaching out to her Son is so like the gesture of a mother reaching for her baby who perhaps has climbed something that puts him in danger. Now her reaching seems to be a gesture of uniting herself to Him on the cross and begging to take His suffering upon herself. Surely the lance that pierced His side pierced her heart.

A Good Friday Gift from Hilaire Belloc and Jacques Tissot
Death of Jesus by Jacques Tissot (1836-1902)
Our Lord and Our Lady
by Hilaire Belloc

They warned Our Lady for the Child
That was Our Blessed Lord,
And She took Him into the desert wild,
Over the camel’s ford.
That was Our Blessed Lord,
And She took Him into the desert wild,
Over the camel’s ford.
