This Week's Reflection

Longing for the Shade
Suffering finds final meaning only in the redemptive and healing mystery of Christ's own death. His innocent suffering and death have put new meaning on our own. His suffering for the sake of others has a redeeming aspect to it and this is an even more profound mystery. In his own life, Jesus, like us, was repelled when he was confronted by suffering and death. He is steadfast though, and continues to trust in His Father through it all. He will continue to pray to God, trust and walk forward to Jerusalem, showing us the path as he goes.
