Mercy

Les Miserables is one of my favorite stories.  I've read the book, seen the movie starring Liam Neeson and seen the broadway stage production.  The story unfolds the most amazing illustration between law and grace I have ever encountered.  My favorite moment  in the movie is at the very beginning when the priest extends mercy to the main character Jean Val Jean.  It changed him forever.  Grace undeserved and without measure.  I thought about mercy and grace when I did these next two crosses.
