Bangladesh, even small children mark Way of the Cross
Dhaka (AsiaNews )
- "Jesus died for our sins , and that's why we love him". In
this spirit, 259 children in Bangladesh took part in a Way of the Cross,
accompanied by three priests, four sisters and 51 animators. The
representation of the Christ's Calvary took place as part of a special day
dedicated to sacred childhood.
The
children actively participated in the program, before singing a few hymns and
then staging the Way of the Cross. "I
love Jesus - one little girl, Mim Gomes, tells AsiaNews - and I can feel his suffering , when he was killed for
our sins . I have fasted and prayed for him during Lent".
Sister
Mary Treshita, the Sisters of Mary Queen of Apostles (SMRA), was also among
the organizers of the program. She invited
the children to "follow Jesus and keep his message in your hearts". According
to the religious, the children "loved staging the Way of the Cross,
because it encourages them to love Christ".
