Holy Week Monday

"Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul...." (Emily Dickenson) And these days with such vicious attacks on our church and on the Pope himself, we are sustained by this hope which quietly sings in each heart that is united to Christ. The Holy Week which has begun draws us ever closer to our Lord on his journey toward the cross and reminds us that our hope came with a cost, a cost freely paid. As we unite ourselves with our Lord and journey with him through out the week, may we hold fast to the thing which perches in the soul and guides us toward Calvary and then the empty tomb.
