Holy Week is a risky business. It contains some of the strangest traditions of our faith and some of the most meaningful. We never emerge from Holy Week the same as how we entered.
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways, says the Lord.” Nowhere is this clearer than in Holy Week. How are we to make sense of God's ways in these holy days?
We are always keen to celebrate an unexpected blessing and to rejoice when precious things lost are found. We are also prone to forgetting to count the blessings we have had all along.
