The Way of Love

Note:  A power outage due to some electrical work prevented this slice from reaching your table on March 26th.  Enjoy it today...It didn't get stale.


During this Lent many have been participating in the Way of the Cross on Fridays, or praying the Stations at home with a good prayer book and a wooden cross.  As we draw closer to Holy Week and the Triduum, we might consider the "last walk" of Jesus as a walk of love.  He suffered the horrendous scourging at the pillar after having been beaten on the way from Gethsemane, the crowning of thorns, the push-shove-fall-rise walk from the Praetorium to Calvary, the agonizing three hours on the cross, and last breath commending his spirit to the Father.  No greater love has the world seen, no greater inspiration for us to use these last days of Lent to meditate on the passion, death and resurrection.  Can we drink from this same cup?  Can we die to those little things that separate us from God and one another?  Is our WAY of living, of treating one another, no matter who they are, a Way of Love?
