Artwork: Healing Prayers to Resist a Violent World

Pursuing justice, peacemaking, and reconciliation will exposes much within us, most especially in seasons of individual and communal suffering. Our natural tendency is to respond to the ugliness we see in this world by minimizing, ignoring, or destroying others or ourselves while attempting to fix it.

What if instead we walked with one another toward the beauty emerging through the pain? When Jesus captures all of our senses we can be renewed, sustained and filled with courage to love others in transformative ways. Anthony Vasquez, the main artist who contributed to this book, fills these pages with beauty that inspires attentiveness to the many tensions around us.
