The Original

Overlooking the gravestones of departed nuns at Queen of Angels Monastery (Mt. Angel, Oregon) is this statue of Christ on the cross. Catholics are quite aware of the empty cross and believe just as strongly in resurrection as do Protestants. But the image of Christ on the cross keeps them grounded in the person of Jesus, his suffering love, and his victory--at this very moment, not just on resurrection morning--over the powers of evil and darkness.
