Passion Week

What better time to focus on someone, besides ourselves, then the Passion Week. This will be one of the the few years that I will not be able to attend any of the services because of work. So I decided to really take some time then to just reflect on what the passion was like, what would it be like if I was in Jesus shoes, (sandals). I had the gift of being in the Holy Land this year and what a gift that is turning out to be. You really don't realize the impact it has on you until you get home and the different events that come up and you reflect, wow I have been there, in that spot, walking that same walk. Just to think that Jesus loved us so much that he gave his life for us, then showed us the Resurrection to seal that love. He not only suffered for us but then invites us to come be with him. Oh if I could only have such a love, such an unconditional love. As I walk this walk will I be the one on the side spitting and cursing, the one hiding, watching from a distance, or will I be the one underneath the cross with Mary. I wrote a little prayer in my prayer book that went like this; fail I shall, recover I must, Christ fell and I kiss the wounds upon His most sacred knees, because those wounds were caused by me. As He got up, so shall I, to walk again until I die. Jesus you are my strength, you are my hope, with love.
May this Passion Week find our footsteps in union with his, and maybe, in His mercy, we will come into the Kingdom with Him.
