Oh my goodness that was beautiful! I, too, ended up sobbing as she struggled with all the temptation around her and the tears turned to joy as Jesus hugged her, though my tears were even more sorrowful when Jesus was taking the brunt of the other characters (reminded me of the Passion).
Gwenred, it’s possible your viewing capabilities on your computer left the music out of sync with the images. The music does go with the skit.
We begin with a young woman dancing with Jesus as he shows creates and shares gifts with her (life, movement, the sky, fruit, a bird, rain), then a fellow comes along to interrupt that dance. It seems he represents Lust, and notice he uses the same dance Jesus did with her, so that at first it feels familiar to her.
The guy in yellow is Greed throwing money her way.
The first girl is Addiction (alcoholism), the party life of our youth.
Followed by Vanity (eating disorders, bulemia, here)
and then Despair.
Notice with each obstacle Jesus is further from her. As she tires of giving in to each temptation she feels more lost because the distance grew in that time.
Finally she chooses to go back to him and she fights to get there “You’re all I want. You’re all I need. You’re everything” sings louder in the background as the Temptations beat her up basically, as Jesus pulls to draw her close to him and He steps between her and them, taking their beatings on her behalf until they are defeated.
This leaves Jesus and the girl alone, with his arms around her.
I admit it probably moved me to tears because I know several young teens from my children’s schools who struggle with each of these and any given combination every day. We pray they find the strength to turn to Jesus to help them through.
Oh, well!
