her martyrdom began in her childhood. at eight years old, she believed fiercely in the power of prayer.
she asked her god, a frail wooden man hanging on a sturdy wooden cross, to relieve the burden of suffering in the world, if only the tiniest amount, by experiencing it herself.

i've made similar prayers myself. admittedly, not for the benefit of the wider global population, but for those i love who are suffering. i've lost count of how many times i've found myself wishing that i could carry the burden of someone else's pain for them. sucks that life isn't that obliging.
