Good Friday

Luma

Khudher, OP

To move from pain and suffering to joy, we have to go through death so that we can live with Jesus. The good news is that he is with us and among us even when it seems hard to believe in anything.

Holy Thursday

Natalie

Terry, M.Div.

We are continually called back to Holy Thursday... We are called back to Jesus' decision to wash his disciples' feet. And in that action we discover again and again who Jesus calls us to be in the Church and in the world.

Fifth Sunday of Lent

Shanon

Sterringer

I believe the examples of Martha and Mary are not presented to us in these texts to be compared as though one is superior to the other, as they are often interpreted. But rather, they need to be read through a holistic lens.

Ash Wednesday

Simone

Campbell, SSS

Well, what I’ ve realized is that wearing ashes on this day is like being at a rally. It’ s seeing all those who share this communal commitment to conversion during these six and a half weeks of Lent.
