Sister Nancy Iampietro
Within the Lenten Season, the Passion and the Cross are placed before us in an visceral way. We hear again words that try to capture and understand mystery — words like atonement and ransom and redemption and sacrifice and suffering. At times, these words may block our encounter with the Crucified and Risen Lord.
Father Ron Rolheiser writes that “there exists a certain secret, a hidden wisdom, a key to unraveling the deep secrets of life. This key is the cross: the wisdom of the cross and the brokenness of the one who died on the cross. If we grasp this we have the key to understanding the rest of life.”
Jesus came so that we might know and embrace a God who loves us beyond our imagination; a God who longs to be one with us. Jesus came so that we may live inside the love that he shares with the Father … that love was rejected and betrayed and so … Jesus wept! What will it mean for us to receive the grace to live inside the tears of Jesus? Inside his Love?
