Holy Thursday – With the Broken ones
The broken ones,
Bruised by the miseries,
Wearied by the burdens of life.
They are at the peripheries,
Away from the colors of life.
Their skin burned with harsh realities.
But, in Him they seek comfort,
Their eyes are filled with hope and courage.
They see in Him their liberation.
He is one among them, broken and wounded,
He is the wounded healer.
He breaks the bread with the broken ones.
He is the bread of life and of freedom.
