Our love and suffering as Christian disciples, like the Lord’s on the cross, does not happen in vain.
Yesterday, we mourned Christ’s death. Tomorrow, we will celebrate his Resurrection. Today, we pause somewhere in between.
Both Sts. Francis and Clare of Assisi recognized the importance of what happened at the cross as a model for Christian life.
Christ knew what it was like to suffer. Christ knew the gaping pain of yearning for an embrace when those around you cause you pain.
Christ taught us how to break bread. Christ taught us how to build tables that welcome all to participate in that breaking of bread.
Those few friends and family members who stayed behind and perhaps risked their own lives for the sake of their friend and Lord have denied themselves to follow Jesus.
When you think of hard and lonely places, what comes to mind? Is it an actual desert? Or is it your workplace? Or a family gathering? Where is your desert?
Paradise, or the kingdom, is also a reality that is not off in some distant future, but is, as Jesus says, here “with me today.”
In the spirit of seeing every encounter as a blessing, let me bring beauty and healing to all my relationships.
