In an Austrian city there are twelve figures of Christ, each
representing a different aspect. The country folk, crossing
the bridge to the city in the morning, worship them as they
pass. The stockmen pray to the image of Christ the Shepherd,
the artizans to Christ the Carpenter, the market-gardeners to
Christ the Sower, the ailing and infirm to Christ the Physician,
the fishermen to Christ the Pilot, etc. “Enlightened minds will
never forget that there is but one Christ, and yet to each
follower the thought of Him that is born of a special need will
always be the one that makes His image in the soul.”
