Thanks, Bosco, for a thought-provoking, exciting representation of what it might have been like to have been a Penitent in the realm of Hades, when the Crucified – not yet Risen – Christ appeared with arms open in Loving embrace. A movement from Chaos to the new Cosmos – maybe from the depths of Hell into the garden of Paradise.
Our only Hope: Christ is Risen, Alleluia! He is Risen Indeed, Alleluia, Alleluia! – Agape!
