Good Friday

April 9, 2004

Suffering. Betrayal. Arrest and inquisition. Now certain death, for
the life and the service as they were. As we breathe in these events, do we allow ourselves really to contact our deep knowing, that knowing inside that the great purposes of the One express through, and make use of, even these awful experiences? If I too am to carry forward the life of service that may be reviled before it is lifted up, how do I keep loving through even these?

What painful ending, what trial am I facing in my life? What grace,
mercy, help might I need in order to feel and acknowledge it fully? Can I truly go on to the next call without attention to burying what was?

What dies? What lives?
