The Passion


You can't really see it, but through those windows shone the Three Sisters, mountains beloved by everyone in this sweet woodland town. The folk you see are some of those who gathered, to remember. You might say they were passionate about it. 



Each year at this time, we also try to see some of the movies that have been made about the Easter story. Sometimes it has been The Greatest Story Ever Told, or The Robe (excellent, both). For me today it was The Passion of the Christ (2004). It is not an easy thing to watch (but should such a thing ever be?). Everything else sort of fades as you look, your discomforts dissolving as you see the ultimate Discomfort unfolding for you.

(Of course, the Book itself the best spot to read the real dialogue, and find your questions answered. The later chapters of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are clear and precise, lacking in nothing.) 












And thank you for reading! It is lovely to have friends from all over the globe, stopping by, checking in, touching base even though we may be thousands of miles apart.









And we eagerly await Sunday! 

See you along the way!
