For the grieving on #ascensionday:
Yes, Mysteries @MaOlPoetry
Truly, we live with mysteries too marvelous
to be understood
How grass can be nourishing in the
mouths of the lambs.
How rivers and stones are forever
in allegiance with gravity
while we ourselves dream of rising.
"He may not have been the Messiah all had hoped for, but it is hard to see him as anything less than the Messiah of great hope." Read more from @S_McAllister1: rzim.org/read/a-slice-of-inf… Image: Karen Swenholt, The Return of the Prodigal Son.
Often reclaimed in times of despair & calamity, not unlike the one in which we find ourselves, the image of human life as vulnerable comes as a shock. But is human weakness only something to bemoan? Is there any good news? --@24Caratt rzim.org/read/a-slice-of-inf… Image: @artistmunch
"The disruption of the Cross would not be the last. The disruption of the resurrection was a disruption of cosmic proportions." --@MargMannShull on #Disruption #Easter Read More: rzim.org/read/a-slice-of-inf… Image: Amadeo de Souza-Cardoso, Brazilian Song Bird
In Georges Rouault’s #Miserere series, "#Resurrection" depicts Christ’s resurrected body in its memorable cruciform image. It is both triumphant & a triumph that seems to be breaking in. Rouault shows victory, but we are also left longing for it. @24Caratt bit.ly/2RAIHHk
The bold proclamation of Easter is that bodies are not buried once & for all & forgotten. Suffering & injustice, viruses & cancer, murder & depression: None of these will have the final word. @24Caratt

Creation is groaning. We see this every day. We grieve this in this global moment of #COVID19. But God is making things new. Jesus has set something in motion. The silence of #HolySaturday was not empty. #NewCreation #EasterSunday #Easter Image: Jamie Wyeth, New Growth.

Creation is not an act that happened once upon a time...The act of bringing the world into existence is a continuous process. God called the world into being & that call goes on. There is this present moment b/c God is present. Every instant is an act of creation. #AbrahamHeschel

"Holy Saturday, with its reflection on the darkness of the death and burial of Jesus, has taken on new significance for me in the midst of the #COVIDー19 pandemic." --@MargMannShull #HolySaturday
While not often proclaimed as such, central to the message of #EasterSunday is that God dwells in the darkness of human suffering by entering into the world as a fellow sufferer." -@MargMannShull More: bit.ly/3a1wQIE #HolySaturday #HolyWeek

"In a world that would reject Christianity because it often appears not to take suffering and evil seriously enough, #HolySaturday proclaims the central mystery of Christian faith: that Christ has died in accordance with the Scripture." @MargMannShull bit.ly/3a1wQIE
