The Week Called Holy: Were you there?
During this week called "holy" Christians are faced with an important question. Were You There is a meditation with an invitation. Take time to ponder the question that Holy Week asks: Are you willing to follow Jesus to the cross? "In the end, the suffering of Jesus is the salvation of the world. It is salvation of all those who see what is needed in the world and, like Jesus, do not shrink from pursuing it" (Joan Chittister, OSB, The Liturgical Year).
