As we walk the ancient path with Jesus to the cross, we are reminded of the deep pain he suffered, the wounds he bore and the heavy burden he carried. Jesus opens our eyes to the ways in which his passion, death, and resurrection are continuing to happen among us today. We can live with hope and confidence that God's heart unites with the hearts of all suffering people, and becomes the divine source of new life for us all.
Shock Me with the Terrible Goodness of this Friday
Holy One,
shock and save me with the terrible goodness of this Friday.
and drive me deep into my longing for your kingdom,
until I seek it first--
yet not first for myself,
but for the hungry
and the sick
and the poor of your children,
for prisoners of conscience around the world,
for those I have wasted
with my racism
and sexism
and ageism
and nationalism
and religionism,
for those around this mother earth and in this city
who, this Friday, know far more of terror than of goodness;
that, in my seeking first the kingdom,
for them as well as for myself,
all these things may be mine as well:
things like a coat and courage
and something like comfort,
a few lilies in the field,
the sight of birds soaring on the wind,
a song in the night,
and gladness of heart.
the sense of your presence
and the realization of your promise
that nothing in life or death
will separate me or those I love,
from your love
in the crucified one who is our Lord,
and in whose name and Spirit I pray.
~Ted Loder, Guerrillas of Grace
You may want to spend more time with the scripture readings, the "Stations of the Cross" icons, and songs that were seen in the video. See the following website to meditate on each station at your own pace: themanyarehere.info/stations
