Being close in suffering

A sister shared a wonderful experience with me. A child had stood in front of the statue of the suffering Jesus - covered in wounds - in her church. ‘Do you know who that is?’ she had asked. The child had nodded. They both stood in silence in front of the statue for a long time. Then the child said: ‘Jesus is missing us!‘ The sister asked surprised. ‚What did you just say?‘ -  ‘Yes, Jesus is missing us!‘
