this week is STILL holy

this is holy week but it does not feel like it because of the extraordinary situation we are in.

the passion/suffering of Christ is indeed experienced uniquely now. the crosses are different.

tomorrow night, the feast of the last supper will feel different online. we will wash our own feet in the shower.

good friday we will bow down to the cross in a virtual way

holy saturday vigil, we will wait as we have been, light our own candles and pray for the catecumens’ patience to be received in the communities

but this week is still HOLY. the Spirit will continue to hover and grace us in unexpected ways. i pray that we have the awareness and desire to see and respond well to these gifts.
