As I travelled to the dress fitting for my cousin's wedding, I started thinking about Palm Sunday and how this is the time in my lentern journey where I feel like it's the beginning of my preparation for this Easter celebration.
Easter is such a momentous event in our liturgical year as we remember the death and resurrection of Christ and I've found that reading is really helpful and this Lent I've been reading 'Why go to Church?' by Timothy Radcliffe as part of my lentern preparation.
So I'll leave you with a little something to reflect on from the book. Radcliffe's work is available in all good bookshops.
'Christians believe that the culminating crisis, of deepest loss and closest intimacy, came on the night before Jesus' death, which we are about to re-enact as he asked us. This was not just the sad end of a good man, but the ultimate crisis in God's relationship with humanity. God was incarnate in this human being. God came to enfold us in his life and love and we said 'No'. This person was, we believe, God's Word, God's Wisdom, the one in whom we discover the meaning of our lives, and why there is anything rather than nothing. So that night put in question whether than anything makes any sense at all.'
Happy Palm Sunday,
Dani =) x
