The Churches of Cochabamba
Today’s blog is not going to be
filled with a history lesson or a retelling of my adventures in
exploration. Instead I want you to see
some of the beautiful churches of Cochabamba.
I don’t know the history of these churches. I just know how beautiful they are.
Pray for the people of
Cochabamba. They are kind and
helpful. I had the feeling that if I
lived here, I would have many friends.
Yet their churches are filled with images of Mary. She is central to the religion here. I have Catholic friends who believe in the
crucifixion and resurrection of Christ.
He is the center of their lives.
I am sure that there are many here that are the same. Yet Christ seems to have been replaced by
Mary. In my opinion, she is probably one
of the greatest women that has ever lived, an example to all of us. But I feel, if she were to walk in many of
these churches, she would weep that the people worship her rather than her son.
I hope you will take a moment and pray for these people.
