“Behold, mother, I make all things new” —Kenneth Tanner
Seventeen years ago a film premiered during Lent. The film is about these holy days we are entering, this sacred week that remakes the world.
There’s a scene in the film of Jesus falling flat on his face into a dusty road: surrounded by crowds, a crown of thorns on his head, the heavy timber he is carrying comes down hard on his back.
He falls at the intersection of an alleyway, where we see his mother collapsed against a wall in anguish as she waits in horror to glimpse her son, Jesus, passing by.
When Jesus hits the ground just yards from her, Mary flashes back to a moment when as a child Jesus stumbled and hurt himself. In the memory, Jesus runs to her in pain and she takes him into her arms of comfort.
