In last week's email, I asked you what you'd reflected on during Good Friday or Easter this year. I received many responses; they were vulnerable and beautiful and sad and, perhaps above all, filled with hope.
I always love hearing from you all, which is why I invite replies every week. This time was even more special. You shared candid reflections about death, illness, war, violence, forgiveness, solitude, and more. But woven through these painful emails were the reality of Christ's solidarity and the hope of Christ's resurrection.
