The Chaos of the Moment

We are all trying to adjust to the reality of this extraordinary moment in history, and in our personal lives. Some people seem to be adjusting faster, some slower, some barely at all. It's difficult for everyone. Let us be gentle with ourselves, and with others, as we navigate this thicket of fears, uncertainties, and complexities we never expected.

For some of us, Holy Week has begun. It's going to be quite strange. I found this essay quite helpful: "A First for Christendom: Holy Week without Church," by Stephen Cottrell, an Anglican bishop in the UK, who writes, "Who would have thought that this Lent we would have to give up each other?"

May peace be in your hearts, even as the world around us seems anything but peaceful, ordered, or even understandable, and may we find beauty in that chaos.
