How can our Blessed Mother have a face scarred? Sounds like heresy, yet here we see our Mother scarred. What does this mean about how God loves us? How does this image inform us about the compassion of Christ expressed through our Blessed Mother for us? Incredibly God loves us even scarred. And when honest with ourselves we realize we each carry scars not simply in our flesh but in our hearts and souls. Come hear about incredible love of God for us as expressed in this image of our Our Lady of Czestochowa, the Black Madana, dating back perhaps 2,000 years.
Father Kevin Finnegan will share about Our Lady with a scarred face and how it she tenderly loves us. With a copy of this icon dating back from the late 1800’s Father Kevin will invites us to embrace more fully a life of boldness, compassion, and love.
Yes pizza and ice cream. But more: Engaging conversation on our scars transformed by grace.
Even Jesus has scars.
