[Uucf-bible] This Holy Week commentary on the UUCF Virtual Monastery site

An excerpt From this week's Holy Week commentary by the Rev. Marguerite  
Sheehan on the UUCF Virtual Monastery site: 
 
This week we raise our voices in Hosanna, and begin the long, slow and  
inevitable walk to Golgotha. Those of us who join together in religious  
communities do not walk this path alone even as we are, at this point in the  
story, at our most low and lonely moment. We are helplessly watching by the side 
 of the road as everyone, including us, wave our palms and weep. And so I 
ask,  where do we find our encouragement, our consolation, our sharing of 
compassion  in our own few days on earth? Paul points the Philippians to the 
example of the  humble, earthy life of Jesus. He teaches that we are to be 
united and in full  accord with the mind of the King who humbled himself to 
mount a donkey or two.  We are to follow Jesus even if we know that we will 
look foolish (especially if  we look foolish!)  
Go to this link for the full commentary. Enjoy. let it deepen your walk
