I haven’t seen the movie “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” but just watched the trailer now. A woman, feeling she has been deprived of justice, following the murder of her daughter, leaves no stone un-turned in her pursuit of justice. From the clip I just watched, it would seem she left no feathers or personages unruffled either. You can see where she’s coming from.
The three billboards outside Ebbing are there to be seen (or ignored) by all who pass the road. Her desire, her absolute need, of course, is that they will be seen and evoke response.
In looking through photos just now, I saw again these three candles and thought the link too good to pass up on!! These candles too call people to response. Like the billboards, they have their message. Maybe one of them is calling us to spend time with God The Father today, the second encouraging us to hear again the words of Jesus Christ and maybe the third is calling us to an encounter with The Holy Spirit. Again, maybe one is asking us to come to terms with the past, a second to embrace the present and the third to put trust in God’s guidance of our future.
Endless possibilities as to what these three candles might have to say. The difference between them and the billboards is that we have to pull off the road for a while, enter a church (like Kilmovee, Co. Mayo) and see the signs that are there for all who choose to enter.
The link … the absolute love of a parent …. of God …. for the child.
