米开朗基罗所作圣母怜子图，我们很有幸在梵蒂冈圣彼得大殿看到原塑，而当我回到家中，在附近的圣心堂发现了这尊一比一的塑像。我可以在那里静静地坐很久，说说心里话，上前拉拉圣母的衣褶，亲亲主的圣伤。

圣母怜子图 the Pieta
米雪的诗：米开朗基罗颂
Ode to the Sculptor Michelangelo
by my daughter Michelle Angela (when she was 12）
Out of the rough white stone
Working tirelessly throught the night alone
He chisels and grinds
To the vision that is only in his mind
A master from long ago
He is the sculptor Michelangelo
Moses, seated, holding the Ten Commmandments in his muscular right hand
A mighty figure sitting tall and grand
Sternly look to the side
With his flowing beard like tangeled vines
Sandaled right leg and foot exposed
Carved by the sculptor Michelangelo
David, muscular, youthful, standing gallant and great
Sling slung over his left shoulder, his right leg supporting his full weight
Furrowed brow, eyes focused and ready for battle, looking into the distance
Capturing youthful human beauty in its timeless existence
His is not stone, but a figure with a spirit and soul of his own
Brought to life by the hand of the sculptor Michelangelo
The Pieta, with the youthful Mary's expression so sorrowful yet serene
The lifeless body of Christ cradled in her arms between
The drapery of Mary's dress flowing down in thick folds and creases
Carved when he was twenty-three, his master piece among master pieces
The sacrifice and suffering, the anguish and agony, we will never know
To create such beauty, God gave the world the sculptor Michelangelo

秋天时，与妈妈和米雪上山，林间小路上有象征主受难的十字苦路，Stations of the Cross, 一共十四站，也有的是加上一个耶稣复活的第十五站。今天我们会再回到那里拜十字苦路，我想那里会有很多朝圣的人。每个教堂里都有苦路，和平共处，可以不同意观点，但是尊重你的家庭背景和选择，保持自己的价值观。天主是爱，心之甘饴，爱之共融。不为改变别人，只要活出最好的自我。
第一站：耶稣受审
第二站: 耶稣背十字架
第三站：耶稣第一次跌倒
第四站：圣母往见圣子
第五站：军人强迫圣西蒙帮主背十字架
第六站：耶京妇女给主一块布擦汗，祂的圣容印在了布上
第七站：耶稣第二次跌倒
第八站：主对妇女说：不要为我哭泣
第九站:耶稣第三次跌倒
第十站：他们瓜分了祂的衣物
第十一站：主被钉上十字架
第十二站：圣母和妇女及圣约翰（若望) 站在十字架下，主说, “女人，看你的儿子！”对若望说：“看，你的母亲！”圣母无痛生下圣婴，此刻她的心在滴血，诞生了千千万万的儿女。可以说，教会诞生在十字圣架之下，也可以说，教会生日在五旬节，Pentecost的圣灵降临在每个人心里，燃起那爱的火焰。
第十三站：耶稣圣死
第十四站：安葬墓中
雨后的圣母山洞滴着露珠，想起很多人去法国路德朝圣
现在我正在看电视上，圣彼得大殿十字圣架朝拜仪式，人们恭敬地走上前，亲吻十字架，想起一首儿歌，最甜蜜的木架，最甜蜜的钉，sweetest wood and sweetest iron, sweetest weight is hung on thee...最终那苦难也变甘甜。
