    Wow, Howard, that’s my favorite painting by Van Gogh! When I first saw it at the Met I broke into tears. I was there with my three-year-old son. He’s 43 now. I still see him the same way. I hope you don’t mind. I shared your prayer at the foot of the cross at our last Passionist Associates’ meeting. A new fellow we have in formation said, “Yeah. That’s what I call the Passionist spirit.” We sure wish you could be there with us!
