On this first day of our Virtual Parish Mission, Sr. Bethany Madonna, SV, shares about Jesus' self-gift on Holy Thursday, and how we are called to share in that gift.
Following the talk, we feature a song written by Sr. Maria Emmanuel, SV, and sung by our Sisters, called "Out of the Depths", based on Psalm 130. Psalm 130 is a psalm of grief and longing, and radical confidence in God’s mercy. It was written as an expression of this longing and waiting for the Lord, which the human family is experiencing, whether consciously or unconsciously, at this time of the pandemic. During Holy Week, as we re-live the mysteries at the center of our Christian faith, this year in a most unique way, may the cry of our hearts echo this Psalm.
