Details

- The grey rabbits are the Emmaus disciples. The blue one is Christ.

- Jesus is opening the disciples' minds to the intelligence of the scriptures. The dark grey is the one who hasn't understood, the light grey has understood. At the origin, he was dark like the other one but he's been enlightened because his mind has been opened by Jesus.

- We can see the opening that's been made to insert the key is heart-shaped.

- We can also see that the inside of the dark grey rabbit is light (look at the contours of his heart) which means the key is inside him.

Questions

- Why draw such a key ? The youngest has never seen one like this. This key used to be used to rewind clocks, for instance, or any other mechanical engine that used to work with a spring in the shape of a spiral. That means you had to tighten the spring and by slowly expanding, it was making the engine work. When the spring was completely loose, the engine would stop and you had to use the key once again to tighten God is there, even if I can't feel anything. It's to believe that he's acting, even if I can't see him. To do an act of faith is free. I don't expect anything from God but I tell him I believe in him.

- There's even a prayer called « act of faith » which we can recite : « O my God, I firmly believe all the truths which the holy Church teaches, because in revealing them you can neither deceive nor be deceived. » This does not mean that we must quite simply believe, because that's a mystery, but that we must start with what has been revealed to us, dig further and understand it a bit more to understand.

- During my day, do I regularly take acts of faith ?
