Reflections for Holy Week - Pieta
by Michaela Youngson
Pieta I was fourteen when I cradled you in my not much more than infant arms, wrapped you in linen cloth, fed you with my own life force. Rich men came and brought gifts fit for a king. Who knew that the swaddling cloth would herald a shroud, the myrrh would point to your embalmi…
