Greetings, all.
This week’s Angelus News column is a reflection about sitting with Christ in the Garden at Gethsemane.
It begins with a quote from Albert Camus: “When the images of earth cling too tightly to memory, when the call of happiness becomes too insistent, it happens that melancholy rises in man’s heart: this is the rock’s victory, this is the rock itself. The boundless grief is too heavy to bear. These are our nights of Gethsemane.”
—from “The Myth of Sisyphus”
After Easter, I hope to start working up a new Writing Workshop format and setting some dates.
Wishing you all a rich, blessed, profound Triduum.
