Ladders of Mercy

$5.00

In a neighborhood park, I found a wounded beech tree. It must’ve been struck by lightening years ago. The scar runs along the entirety of the trunk. When I have needed a place to pray for people who are suffering or for myself during a hard time, I wander over to the park and place my hand on the scar of this tree, asking for her for healing and companionship. This solitary act of intercession led me to gather her branches as they fell. I began making small Ladders of Mercy for people who were in the middle of COVID suffering and mailing them as small gifts to lighten the load. The Episcopal Hymnal, #453, references the ladders of mercy offered to us during difficult time.

The size of a ladder is generally 3” x 6”. All from fallen branches of the Wounded Beech at Rollins Park, Concord, NH.
