July
2003, Monrovia, Liberia A country in the midst of civil war led
by another madman professing Christ Crucified, murdering opponents
and sending the National Treasury abroad. A young mother wearing a
new shirt imprinted with the words United States of America cradles in her arms a dying child. Her distress is no less than was Mary’s in holding the body of her dead son Jesus. Too many weeping mothers; too many dead children; too many years of savagery...... and yet we are at ease.
