Evening: Psalms 42, 43; John 11:28-44
Passion, like Love, loses its rich meaning by becoming almost entirely associated in our times with romantic or sexual feelings. But Jesus’s Passion is his suffering. His Compassion is his readiness to suffer with others, with us. Today is the Eve of ‘Holy Week’ ... In this week, we accompany Jesus in his Passion, the Via Dolorosa, the Way of Suffering. After Jesus brings Lazarus back to life, the religious authorities plot to kill him. But the raising of Lazarus declares that the power of death does not rule the Cosmos; Love rules, and Life. There is yet hope.
