Holy Week reminds us that waiting is part of our own passion experience. We wait for death, but ultimately we wait for what comes after death, which is new life. We know that, in order to become a new creation in Christ, we must undergo many trials that we'd rather bypass altogether. These are necessary, vital components to entering the joy of eternal bliss. Thiss week especially, we can use our time of meditating on Jesus' Passion to grow in patience and anticipate the joy of resurrection with hope that lingers in the midst of suffering.

Glory to the Blood of Jesus now and forever. Amen
