symbols we have of our faith. and as we approach easter and in between, it's important to remember we're jesus's disciples. so, how can we take the crusified of this world off their cross? and perhaps it's talking about what we can do to alleviate some of the suffering. and on easter, yi think the bes medicine is joy. rejoice in what we have. so, we have asked people to send in photos of themselves and we have taped them to the pews of people and their families. so, even though it's a virtual experience, we also get to see their faces.and, as cathic wsitw we put te ey actually sit. so, it's wonderful. another reminder of this spiritual communion that we share in the body of christ.

i think the holy days are the perfect paradigm for our time. holy thursday is about pouring out your love, good friday is about love lost, disappointment and betrayal. and easter sunday is about committing and doubling down to love again, in spite of all that's going on. the facts don't change but they're illuminated and they're illuminated with hope and joy. and so, to be a follower of jesus is to be an easter people. not an idealism but a hope that is born beyond all of us and to recognize that everything we have is pure gift. >> and on easter sunday,
