A clear call asks for our clear response. A journey is before us with wondrous provisions: instructions on prayer, fasting, and works. And so it begins.
As the Lord lives through deep learning in the wilderness, a clown king inflicts violence on His friend. We look for psalms and springs even as we recognize puppet oppressors.
In the Mountaintop of God's many revelations to us, we explore the ways of laying down one's life for a friend. We discern the chains of oppression that we help maintain.

We encounter deadly machines and structures and see that we must remember God and love one another. We make a life-giving pit stop at the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

We see the New Covenant but it's not only connected to love, it's connected to suffering. We must move away from ourselves and towards God.
We enter the Holy City. So which is it, Oh People of God: jubilation or destruction? The journey requires that we empty ourselves. We are disheartened to face brutality.
On Holy Thursday. we enter the Luminous Palace of the Sacred Triduum where we learn how to wash feet. We remember the Body of Christ and we celebrate an ancient freedom of remembrance.
Evil is revealed to be cowardly and impotent before the Lord of the Dance. We walk alongside the Suffering Servant. We cry nonetheless, just as Jesus wept.
