============================================================
And yet for us it is when he is on the cross
This Jesus of Nazareth, with holed hands and open side, like a beast at a
sacrifice:
When he is stripped, naked like us,
Browned and sweating water and blood in the heat of the sun,
Yet silent,
Then we cannot resist him.
