10. As we begin Holy Week, we wish to recommend a fine movie, "The Passion of the Christ" directed by Mel Gibson in 2004. This highly acclaimed film is about the last 12 hours of Jesus' life. The film stars Jim Caviezel and runs two hours. It is rated R because of violence. Click Here for this free presentation. (One way you can watch this movie on your tablet or mobile device is to download the Tubi app from the app store.)
As Fear Grips Us - Let Us Choose Love
Dear Lord,
May we who are merely inconvenienced remember those whose lives are at stake;
May we who have no risk factors remember those who are most vulnerable;
May we who have the luxury of working from home remember those who must choose between preserving their health or making their rent;
May we who have the flexibility of care for our children when their school closes remember those who have no options;
May we who have to cancel our trips remember those who have no safe place to go;
May we who are losing our margin money in the tumult of the economic market remember those who have no margin at all;
May we who settle in for a quarantine at home remember those who have no home; and as fear grips our country, let us choose love during this time when we cannot physically wrap our arms around each other,
Let us yet find ways to be the loving embrace of God to our neighbors.
Amen
