Our Lady of Charity and the heartbeat (and drumbeat) of the Cuban people cannot be separated. This painting by Humberto Benitez hangs in one of my reader’s living room. It is a favorite image of mine, Mary’s presence in the lives of her children — placed lovingly in a home altar — ever-present yellow flowers offered in love.
