Hope in the Time of Corona

Jesus, what does hope look like when you’re in agony?  Or when you’re being tortured to death?  Or when your own followers are so traumatized that they have trouble believing their own experience that you’re risen?  Throughout all this, you kept focusing on your Father.  That is the bedrock experience of hope.

Focusing on our God will get us through, too.  What does hope look like when you’re in a long-time pandemic?  Or when you’re trying to make a difference amid vast uncertainty, or participating in a synodal faith-walk forward while realizing there is no going back to “how things were”?  In all, let’s focus on our God.  That is the bedrock experience of hope. 

What are the intensities and the graces you experienced during the Triduum and into this Easter Week?  Has your Lenten striving come to a climax, possibly during the Triduum itself?  How are you uniting with Jesus’ followers as we all, in our current context, keep focusing on our God?  After all, focusing on God IS what hope looks like!
