Easter: Believing in the resurrection, though, is not about being convinced by a logical argument but beginning to trust a different way of seeing life.
Good Friday: If we fail to see the part we play in our world’s pain and brokenness, we miss the deepest truth of Good Friday—the chance to know an unimaginably forgiving love flowing from the cross.
Palm Sunday: In Christ hanging on the cross we see as much of God as we can ever hope to see—God’s complete self-giving love, God’s identifying with our humanity even in dying, God’s promising us that there is nothing we can face in this life that can separate us from God’s love.
Lent V: Extravagance, going for broke, putting our hearts and souls on the line—that’s something that doesn’t come naturally to most of us prudent types.
Epiphany IV: Christian love takes every ounce of your maturity and hard work over a lifetime, waking up every morning asking God for the grace to help you love despite others and despite yourself.
