Honored to be on this list - and I'd also add Lyndsey Medford's Substack essay from today about Holy Saturday:
"Holy Saturday is the patron holiday of trauma—of life after something so unimaginable it breaks your universe, when you fall through the cracks and get stuck there, reliving or fleeing that same event over and over again. Suspended."
In “ Rough Sleepers”, Tracy Kidder’s book about some of Boston’s unhoused citizens and Dr. Jim O’Connell, the doctor who cares for them, Chapter 2 is titled , “Foot Soaking”. That act of foot washing captures the art of healing. A favorite part of Holy Thursday’s service for me. Jeanne Cronin
