We are now in the midst of Holy Week.
This evening, a few faithful souls gathered with me in the church for Tenebrae, the service of shadows. This solemn liturgy always helps me sense and come to terms with the gathering darkness on this journey with Christ to the Cross.
It's not easy to be in the midst of this darkness. But it's the only space from which we can begin to comprehend the power of the light.
More darkness lies ahead, yet the promise of the light draws us on.
Come, let us go together with our Lord to the Cross . . . and beyond . . .
With you on the journey,
Janet+
