Holy Week 2022
A Time of Hope and Love Holy Week and Easter will be here before we know it. What do those special days mean to you? Are you ready to take the dive and make them a real part of your growth or is it easier to sit back and say they are just another day? No they are not just another day. They are days that give our lives new meaning if we let them. They are times filled with hope, peace and love. It doesn’t matter who we are or where we are in life, each of us is in need of a new tomorrow. A voice that speaks to us within and says yes, I am with you no matter what you are going through. The hope that knocks on your door is waiting for you to answer. Do not fear. A new day, a new tomorrow awaits you. Jesus knew that a new day was waiting for him. What was his pain like as he traveled the road carrying the cross and when Jesus hung on that cross? What was he thinking? What was he feeling? Who was standing at the foot of his cross? His Mother and Mary Magdalene. Their tears were real just like our tears are real when we experience the death of a loved one. As any death occurs, we sometimes blame others because we don’t know what to do with the pain. Other times we take it all within our hearts and let it explode and crush us. Jesus says as with any death, let it out and see the new day, the new sunlight and hear the voice within speak to you and fill you with hope and love and tell you be not afraid; you are not alone. I walk with you. There were times on that dusty road he felt alone and how often did he call out to God for help? When you feel alone on your journey of grief and loss, what do you do? Who do you go to? Do you find a trusted friend? Do you reach out to God for guidance and strength? Do you journal? This Holy Week and Easter can be times that are filled with extreme hope and love if only we open our hearts. On Easter Sunday a new light shines with a message for each of us. Is your heart open to receive it? Sister Pat Fesler,HM Holy Week/Easter 2022 | ||||
