Tuesday of Holy Week
Fumbling in the dark, tracing the edge of the bed in an unfamiliar room, I tried to find my way without switching on the lights. I couldn't recall the details of the day's tour through the house. Where was I? It is not so in the spiritual life- when we can't see we can trust. It isn't easy, but there is One who watches the sparrow fall- did you catch that? He knows when a little bird falls and always they fall, just as we stumble in the dark; eventually we will struggle, but we can rely on Someone to help us.
Have you asked Him to hold you and give you faith to trust?
Medicine from Sacred Scripture:
"Let him who walks in the dark, who has no light, trust in the Name of the Lord and rely on His God." Isaiah 50:10
"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.
