Above is a picture of a painting, entitled “Hapag ng Pag-asa” (Table of Hope), by Joey Velasco.It is a painting of a Last Supper but in the place of the 12 Apostles are 12 impoverished children in the Philippines….not from imagination but real people that he paid to pose for him.It reminds mhim of the Last Supper our Lord Jesus Christ had with his Apostles. Only that in this picture, it depicts the story of poor homeless children, despite theproblems and poverty that surrounds them, still carrying on their lives with Jesus as their only hope.
For me this painting is a model for us to visualize the reality of life of different people.Through this painting we can relate our selves as part of it for we are also the children of Jesus that holds on to him inspite of the problems we have.
