N.T. Wright's quote has lingered in my mind like an anthem or even a mantra for this Lent season...
"I am convinced that when we bring our griefs and sorrows within the story of God's own grief and sorrow, and allow them to be held there, God is able to bring healing to us and new possibilities to our lives. That is, of course, what Good Friday and Easter are all about"I am convinced of this as well and I believe Holy Week is an opportunity among opportunities for the kind of healing and newness which comes to us through the work of Christ on the cross. When we enter the story, when we engage in Jesus' journey to the cross, when we take part in his suffering we emerge from the tomb with Jesus into a garden of new creation.
