Faith
The search for meaning, purpose, and relationship. Our need for love compels us to seek it out, and when we find it, share it.
-
As people of the resurrection, we can both love the concept and also refuse to accept that it has anything to do with our lives.
-
In moving from Passion to Resurrection, we are offered a chance to see God anew. But are we keeping our eyes focused on our purpose?
-
The challenge of preparing to preach the Passion is that many would have us say nothing—which is a huge mistake.
-
Our anticipation of the Passion, for Holy Week, is intellectual and experiential. But what Jesus offers is a promise of participation.
-
The experience of gathering, remembering, sharing in the liturgy is essential for us in Holy Week, not just the Sundays before and after.
-
The gap in the text this week is all of the events of Holy Week and what they represent: a political execution of a political dissident.
