O Beautiful Wound
0 - Default Title
Description
The wound, central to this work, recalls not only the sufferings of Calvary but the sacred art of beholding. In the medieval world, to gaze upon Christ crucified was to see mirrored in Him both human frailty and divine mercy. Thus, contemplation of His wounds became a school of the heart, where humility was learned, compassion deepened, and courage renewed. The words within seek to continue that tradition, offering prayers, songs, and reflections as companions for the journey of faith. May they be read slowly, in silence or by candlelight, and may they turn the soul's gaze toward the crucified and risen Lord. Here is no final word, but only a pathway into the mystery, where Christ Himself is the beginning and the end, the Alpha and the Omega, the Beautiful Wound through which all healing flows.
"Isaacson is never far from her roots, turning abruptly into a side alley, disclosing a Lament, a treasure she bears in her body. Pain and dying that brings life; the suffering servant whose death saves us.
"Writing is wrestling, mentally and emotionally, taxing the body and mind. In O Beautiful Wound, Isaacson takes her place alongside fellow battle weary warriors facing each new day. She does so with a resilience found in Jesus."
-Carl Sukkau, former Shared Living Manager at Communitas Abbotsford, BC
