HAPPY EASTER
13 April 2001
Siena
Today is Good Friday when we remember the death of Christ.
His tragedy, that we live every day in our fears, failures, anxieties and hopes.
It is an illusion to think that it was a problem of only Christ or of a few unlucky people.
Good Friday is our life, and introduce us to a full understanding of it.
my hands are muddied. my body is
shakened by a dark noise. The world distant. Rough voices
nearby. Is it true? My God! My God! Why hath Thou forsaken
Me? My knees ache. In this solitude I know all I recognize
death.
