In the Christian calendar Good Friday marks the crucifixion and death of Jesus, the unredeemed depths of suffering and despair. In our Good Friday moments we do not know that we will be re-born, that something new will rise out of the ashes of the old. There is no way around these times of suffering. The only way out is through.
What has helped you to get through “Good Friday” times in your life?
Shock. Loss of consciousness. Pain meds.
I could not have gotten through my Great Recession unemployment experience without my family and friends.
I think that we are each other ‘s saviors. When I am moved by the courage of another to grab onto grace and push through the depths of suffering and despair, I am saved.
Rita, I love that sentiment. Well said. Thank you.
