In pandemics, people of faith aren’t magically protected from illness or death.

If it is safe for you, if it is possible for you, I encourage you, this Easter season, to break bread with the Risen Lord.

Eucharist, Adoration, and foot washing are all signs of our vulnerability, our dependence on God, and our interdependence on one another.

For what has our Lenten journey prepared us?

There are lots of things we do not know. But one thing we do know, and have known since the days of Moses, is how...

Anger––or anxiety, or arousal, or envy, or fear, or loneliness, or sadness––does not separate us from God.

Do we aspire to elevate and beautify the world, or do we want merely to change it?

What can we do this Lent to have a sense of starting over?

...Especially now we need Sabbath time, time to let God’s angels care for us.

This Lent, perhaps we are not called to voluntary deprivations.

What positive things can we do to nurture our emotional connections and reduce the separation?

Lent is… not a season of punishment so much as one of healing.
