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.

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 this moment we have a common vantage point. We see that the flesh alone has no capacity to shield itself from forces bigger than itself. Our finiteness is on full display."- @theeLusi
Join the crowd and parade of palms with @theeLusi this #HolyWeek. "We all stand at the threshold of the city with him, hoping that somewhere in the distance, our warrior king could flip the script on us and give us a reprieve from this global nightmare." bit.ly/2UXqkyJ

The cultural notion that human value can be extinguished by violence; the enduring perception that insists some lives are expendable: these are the most shocking things #Easter upends in the jarring return of the one they tried to silence. #SriLanka #PrayForSriLanka #EasterMonday

I recently wrote an article for @SliceofInfinity at @RZIMhq on "Goodness Explained vs. Goodness Displayed," which you can find at rzim.org/read/a-slice-of-inf…. I hope it will be an encouragement to you!

The first witnesses to the resurrection did not expect to witness any sort of victory at the tomb. They arrived defeated, in great grief, and terribly afraid. If this is where #Easter finds you today, there is yet room for you in this story.

Friends, we have much to grieve in this world, much to lament, individually and collectively. Let’s not rush to #Easter yet. #GoodFriday gives us permission to lament profoundly together.

Beauty can level us with its intensity. But the opposite is also true. The absence of beauty can leave us scattered and scurrying, aware and afraid and longing... #GoodFriday offers such an occasion. bit.ly/2GtX35Y
