Wednesday of Holy Week
The contradiction of finding the fullness of life in the midst of suffering – an ever-present and universal challenge – is present in today’s texts

Teachable moments
I give forth yet am struck down
It’s the way onward
************************

Lord, deliver us
For you, we are sore oppressed
Quick – no more delays!
************************

The great stadium
In which we run for the prize
Heroes cheer us on.
************************

Most intimate meal
Bread broken in great sorrow
Betrayer departs
