Know what would really set some people back? If they knew that an empty cross makes me think of our Blessed Mother. She was at the foot of the cross when they took Him down, it was to her arms that He went...
God gave Him to Mary for the Light and Hope and Life of the world. And the world gave Him back to her bloody and broken and lifeless.
Perhaps the empty cross would be better replaced with the Pieta?
That makes me want to cry. I agree with AMDG. I will forever think of our Blessed Mother at the foot of the cross whenever I see an empty one. Thank you for sharing that.
In Christ,
Bridgette
