Maundy Thursday Reflection

I, like Weil, could witness countless men and women rise from the grave and not be moved in the slightest bit to regard them as holy or divine. And, with her, if the Gospels were to omit all mention of the resurrection of Christ, it would not impede my adoration. What is sufficient for me is the love so deep, so high, so broad. The love that kneels down and becomes nothing, taking on the form of a slave. That produces for me “the same effects that the resurrection does for others.”

Holy Monday Reflection.
