Thank you all for your comments, and Elaine for the pointer to Maggi’s post as well. Also, I know exactly what you mean about your quandary on many groups or few – I struggle with the same thing.

Your post complements Maggi Dawn’s Good Friday post, which I read earlier this afternoon. In it she says,

“Rocha’s sculpture also calls to mind the fact that Jesus endured real, vile torture to the point of death. As we remember Jesus, let’s also pray with compassion, and act in courage on behalf of those who are victims of torture somewhere in the world today. How? You have to find out.”

Elizabeth Goudge’s quote re “obedience, courage, and love” at the foot of the cross is a comforting thought and one that never would have occurred to me in the midst of Good Friday grief. Thank you for sharing it.

A wonderful reading which I will carry with me into the Godd Friday service.

Thank you, Tess, for giving me something to reflect on this Good Friday morning.

I confess I did not do much proper preparation for Holy Week. Maybe I can turn things around today. Thank you for helping me focus.

(I’ve been aware of the good work of AI but you’ve motivated me to do more research on its work. One of my difficulties is knowing whether one should belong to many groups and contribute a little to each, or belong to a few and give more…..perhaps it doesn’t matter as long as you choose one of these options.)

Blessings to you this Easter weekend.
