The place of the wound (Fr. Richard Rohr)

   The place of the wound is the place of the healing.  The place of the break is the place of the greatest strength.  That is why Jesus himself, even in his resurrected body, reappears with the wounds still in his hands, in his side, in his feet.  They do not disappear as you might expect.
