Wakes (night of hope)
Grote Kerk, The Hague, nightly Easter celebration
The Prayers of the Fragments of the Cross
Sculptures created in the traditional spirit of the icon painters.
Prayer for a couple who struggled since their first union. After years, they came to deeply appreciate that in their diversity lies great strength. In togetherness, hope.
Prayer for someone who was always on guard, wary about people’s motives. However, she decided to trust God. In my prayer, I imagine how she climbs, always, since childhood, where alongside her the angels of God began ascending and descending.
Prayer for someone who was raped and abused as a child since the age of six. She survived. When we met, she could not trust God like she did as a child. For He was present at the time and did not act. In my prayer they call out to each other.
