The real work of Holy Week

We're in the midst of Holy Week, and I'm working on preparations for our worship on Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Easter worship. There are a lot of details to attend to, sermons to be written, phone calls to be made, and many small items that have to be taken care of. So far it looks like everything is well in hand.

The real work of Holy Week, however, is silence and reflection. On Sunday we read the Passion Narrative that tells about the last days and hours of Jesus' life. It's such a powerful story it reverberates through the whole week and it needs time and silence to echo in our souls. I hope to have time in the busy-ness of this week to simply sit with the story and let it work on me. I hope you will, too.
