The Lamenting Body

You can find today’s reflection from The Visual Commentary on Scripture here.

Today’s artwork is a powerful piece of sculpture, entitle Blood/Sweat/Tears by Alison Saar.

It speaks of the experience of suffering as if the body were weeping great bronze tears.

As you reflect on the image, here is a lament from the Highland pibroch tradition to listen to.
