Suor Priscilla appartiene alla tribù Turkana nel nord del Kenya. Esattamente come il clima estremo da cui proviene, anche la sua storia porta con sé un clima colmo di estremi. Priscilla cadde in una profonda depressione dopo che suo padre fu ucciso da una tribù rivale, sua madre morì per un morso di serpente e suo marito la lasciò con sei figli. Il trauma che ha subito le ha spezzato il cuore e contemporaneamente le ha aperto la strada per diventare suora. Ha seguito il sentiero davanti a lei e ha trovato una vita di guarigione in Dio. In quel momento ha cominciato a vincere l'oscurità con la Luce. Oggi, per comprare il cibo per i suoi sei figli, vende carbone e legna da ardere. Un impegno complicato, che l'ha portata addirittura a perdere i capelli a causa del carbone caldo che porta sulla testa. Una realtà durissima, che potrebbe spezzare chiunque. Ma non appena afferra e stringe il suo crocifisso fra le mani e guarda verso la Luce ritrova forza e fiducia. La sua voce smette di tremare e tutto si calma e diventa sacro e puro, "quando prego Dio, sono sollevata e so di non essere sola". L'oscurità non vincerà mai la Luce.

The expression of this woman contains all the past difficulties and future uncertainties, it is a photo that alone tells , your words are an enrichment of what this excellent image already expresses . Complimentoni.

this photo makes you feel there on the spot, you have the clear perception of the fatigue that this nun had to face, you feel the warmth of the hands clasped around the crucifix waiting for the umpteenth albeit small miracle that people like us take too many times now for granted
