Best Statue In Rome
I just saw on Facebook that one of my friends is currently visiting Rome.
About a year and a half ago I also went to Rome. During my stay, my senses were flooded with beautiful architecture, paintings and statues, one of the highlights of which was Michelangelo’s Pieta found in St. Peter’s.
Now, no offense to Michelangelo (he is, after all, my favourite Ninja Turtle), but the Pieta was’t my favourite statue. Rather, it was this statue found outside the “Ospedale Santo Spirito”:
“We are taught from the very first moment to discover Christ under the distressing disguise of the poor, the sick, the outcasts, Christ presents Himself to us under every disguise: the dying, the paralytic, the leper, the invalid, the orphan. It is faith that makes our work, which demands both special preparation and a special calling, easy or at least more bearable” (Mother Theresa, No Greater Love, 166)
