Wed. Word: Apr. 16
The love of God creates in us
such a oneing that when it is truly seen,
no person can separate themselves from another.
-- Julian of Norwich
The final days of Lent are the hardest; it’s tempting to skip ahead to Easter. But Holy Week invites us to slow down, to stay with Jesus – at the table, in the garden, and in the darkness.
On Maundy Thursday, we remember the night Jesus knelt and washed the feet of his followers and told them (told us) – to love one another the way he loves us. He knew better than anyone – that kind of love isn’t easy. It’s demanding and messy and uncomfortable, at times.
That’s the space where we’re invited to linger this week. May God’s Spirit grant us the grace to appreciate the everyday self-giving of Jesus and walk in that way with him.
See you on Maundy Thursday,
Sarah
