So beautifully written. I was moved to tears. I could picture the priest and feel your trepidation and the priest’s love and humility. I hesitated to attend the Maundy Thursday service last night until I saw your article in my inbox. I took a deep breath and decided I must attend despite my weariness from the incredibly long day I had experienced. Later, I silently walked out of the church with the peace that surpasses all understanding. So thankful. Blessings to you.
Joy, this is my favorite!! I’ve read this many times over the years and always, tears roll uncontrollably down my face. The shocking, inscrutable, profound beauty in Christ’s paradoxical humiliation and crushing that leads us all to Life! All I’m left with is a heartfelt cry, “Glory to the Lamb on the throne!” Thank you for this masterpiece. Bless you!
