Homo Homini Lupus

This moving essay inspired by a Pietà-like photograph of a Beslan mother and her dead child, ends with a question. Referring to his 10-year-old stepson, Gerald asks:

I am willing to do anything, anything at all, no matter what it may be, to keep him out of that photograph. That's my answer to what I saw. My question is, "Are you?"

HOMO HOMINI LUPUS. Man is the wolf of man.

• Tibet


• Cambodia


• Kurdistan


• Rwanda


• Bosnia


• The Congo


• Darfur


• Beslan

Are we willing? Are we ready?

HOMO HOMINI LUPUS. Man is the wolf of man.

God grant us the discernment to know how to protect the children, and the courage to act.
