I love this perspective on Holy Week, Janette - the trip analogy (sidenote: have you read James KA Smith’s How to inhabit time? ), and that Dorothy Day quote - it shines such a new light on Martha and Mary! And your words about Mary and the nard, your plane ticket – all of this. Thank you for sharing your sermon with us here. It’s been a wonderful devotional for me this morning, as I fold laundry in fact! Much love and prayers for a blessed Easter to you and all yours.🙏🩷
You always engage with my work so thoughtfully Jenni and I appreciate you so much! I’m glad it opened up new pathways of reflection for you. 💗 our church is offering daily services, music, and liturgies every day this week and I felt acutely aware of how their Martha-like busyness is what enables me to venerate the cross, to be fully present in worship this week. Their work is worship too,
and I am so grateful.
I have not read Smith’s book but I’ll add it to my library holds! Thank you for the recommendation. Peace to you on this Holy Week, my sweet friend ❤️
It is an honor to continue to bear witness to your blooming. I loved this part especially since beauty has become so commodified. It is essential: Beautiful music and candles and altar cloths and lilies are needed because they call our attention to what is good, beautiful and true. Wishing you and your family a beautiful Easter season.
