REFLECTION: Have you ever had an Emmanuel experience, a time when God was present to you in a special way? Recall it and be present to that coming of God for a few minutes. Emmanuel, God with us, is here in the forgiveness of these people. We must not blame ourselves.įor us the One who is to come is here. These people who have suffered so much from our bombs keep repeating that it was not our fault. I remember being warned repeatedly before the trip not to drink the water, contaminated from the U.S. The pour cup after cup of cold water for us, to slake our thirst in the Baghdad heat. His brother is with him, carrying a tray with cups on it. Her little sister is nearby her father and mother are across the street, giving us friendly waves.įrom what inexhaustible well do these people draw their forgiveness and compassion? My friend is sobbing as Nadia talks to her softly.Ī boy is crossing the street toward us, bringing a pitcher of water. Like everyone in Ameriyeh, she has lost friends and relatives, but her immediate family is alive.

Light streamed into the darkness through the opening, illuminating beneath us a a bomb-sealed door to the second level of the shelter. There the huge gash in the ceiling revealed how the two bombs had entered at the target’s bull’s-eye, a ventilation duct. The candle held by the leader was our only light until we approached the center. John’s question - Are you the One? - remains with me when I visit Ameriyeh shelter in Baghdad.įour young men lead us into the darkness of the Ameriyeh shelter.
