The Good News of this Holy Week lies in its promise that even in the face of our flaws and failures, redemption is always within reach.

Jesus invites us to take him.  Not to admire him or to touch him.  Not to study him or debate his actions.  But to take him.  To take him.

Through any challenge that one might be called to go through, one should always remember that we will never be alone, for “God-is-with-us."
