We have over 30 around the world from a wide variety of faith traditions who have already committed to be part of the Via Crucis Grid Blog - and it's not too late to sign up! The postings will start this Sunday and follow the historic steps of Christ through humiliation, pain, death and ultimately what we now know as resurrection. In this list of Holy
Week quotes, this one from Henri J. M. Nouwen, found in an article from The Weavings Reader called "A Spirituality of Waiting", captured much of what I am sensing just now:
JESUS WENT TO JERUSALEM to announce the Good News to the people of that city. And Jesus knew that he was going to put a choice before them: Will you be my disciple, or will you be my executioner? There is no middle ground here. Jesus went to Jerusalem to put people in a situation where they had to say yes or no. That is the great drama of Jesus' passion: He had to wait upon how people were going to respond.
