Michael I have only just read your words, and want to thank you for them. It is so important to 'enter in' to the readings/events of Holy Week and Good Friday, and into the reality of our own humanity and weaknesses. Only then can we come through the darkness and despair of our own feeble faith into the joy of knowing God's mercy, love, forgiveness and embrace in the moment of our own 'tremors' and failures, and so enter in to the alleluias of resurrection, and receive the grace to follow Jesus. Again thank you for sharing your insights.
