Liturgy Expresses the Pain

August 9, 2019January 29, 2021 5hvyd 208 Views cry, liturgy, pain

Liturgy can be a source of healing

Healing for the recognition of pain

Because not recognizing pain means reinforcing pain

Liturgy needs to express the pain

In which violence lives, not cover it up

Give voice to those who have been injured

So this cry can reach the heavens

And send a cure
