A senior child psychologist recently did a poll of the 150 young people being cared for by his department. Each young person had a regular 45-minute appointment, sat on a sofa as one of the clinical professionals asked questions and listened carefully to their answers.

These young people were asked whether they had another adult in their life who they felt they could ask to sit with them in a similar way for 45 minutes to listen to them. Only five said they did.

The cinema was quiet. Families were coming to terms with the death of the hero. But the story was not yet over. With a crash, the stone table, where the hero had been murdered, lay cracked in two. Never again could anyone be punished on it, for their own or anyone else’s betrayal. In the silence, the little voice at the back of the cinema whispered: “Dad, what does that mean?”

This is still the question we can keep answering as we show our children and young people their slain hero in the Easter story.
