thoughts on easter sunday

Christ the Lord is ris'n today, alleluia!

easter sunday-resurrection-my life-abundant joy is not a continuum. my mind grasps the connection poorly. it is enough, perhaps, that my mind can surrender to it. Christ died. it was sufficient. he arose from the dead. i have the promise of hope in my deepest darkest need. that too is sufficient. i can look to advent.

maundy thursday

so, during supper, fully aware that the Father had put everything into his power and that he had come from God and was returning to God, he rose from supper and took off his outer garments. he took a towel... and began to wash the disciples' feet.
- john 13

help us live in the same awareness Lord, of who we are in you, and what we have in you, and help us live in glad generosity amid apathy inertia and need. thank you that you give us the possibility, and that you make it possible.
