Holy Thursday
The words shrouded in mystery hold the healing of nations, families and people. He reclines at table awaiting His betrayal, He waits in the garden for Judas's kiss, He touches the servant of the high priest and heals him; He willingly carries our sorrows, takes up our infirmities, is crushed for our iniquity and by His wounds we are healed. ~Isaiah 53~
The Good Shepherd becomes the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.
May we give Him entrance into our hearts and dine with Him.
Medicine from Sacred Scripture:
"I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer." Luke 22:14
"If we come to the Physician, if we ask Him, He will not hide from us, but will eagerly disclose to us which of these medicines make us whole." John Chrysostom Fourth Century Homily. Medicine heals our bodies and soul medicine brings healing to our souls. Come find the medicine your heart longs for; learn from the Sacred Writings of the early church fathers and from Sacred Scripture and be made whole.

- Come peer through the lens of Sacred Writings and Scripture to know ourselves and be made whole. There is always medicine to apply in our lives: emotional, relational, social and spiritual. My prayer is that the words of the early church and scripture will inform our identity and bring us healing that equips us to know and serve God with all our hearts.
