Reflection of the Week - 17 April 2019

Posted Apr 17, 2019 in Faith

I am overwhelmed with troubles and my life draws near to death. Psalm 88:3

This is the week that Jesus died. And with it, the disciple's hopes that he was the Messiah.

This week we suffer the loss of the light, the life.

We rage, rage against the dying of the light.

From triumphal entry to Gethsemane, to Pilate, to the Cross. We journey through the darkness in trust with Jesus ben Joseph.

We too know what it is to feel disappointed, distraught – devastated. We know how it feels to be bereft.

How do we rage, rage against the dying of the light when the light is dead?

You threw yourself upon death's blade for us. We helpless, darkened beings are somehow caught up into the journey with you now.

With you, we rage, rage against the dying of the light.

We remember. We rage.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
