If you liked this I suggest you visit this link to the first such video in what is apparently a series. http://famvin.org/en/archive/the-sending-monsieur-vincent-updated
Tell me why does it have to be like this?, asks the boy in the song. Are we not failing our children if we don’t do something to show them that it doesn’t have to be like this?
It is hard to watch this video and not be deeply touched. But we are called to more than a moment or two of tears. An old Vincent says in the first video (the link to which is in the JBF comment below) “I didn’t do enough.” What would the world be if fewer of us need to make such a confession at the end of our lives?
