Day 46 (Holy Saturday) Consider those first few days after you've lost someone and the liminality between their death and funeral. There’s no closure yet, and mornings are reminders that the nightmare is real. It’s hard to imagine how you’ll face the day. Again and again, the sun rises on a new day, often without embrace or acknowledgment. The same is true of resurrection. Whether or not we discern what’s happening, God is literally and figuratively turning the world aroun...d! Commentary by Rev. T. Denise Anderson on Mark 16:1-8 Image: Status Quo by Hannah Garrity | A Sanctified Art LLC

Day 45 (Good Friday) 'A MAN WAS LYNCHED YESTERDAY' These words were stitched onto a flag that flew outside the Manhattan headquarters of the NAACP between 1920 and 1938. When a Black person was lynched, the flag was raised the following day ... You should understand that what happened to Jesus was a lynching. Do not look away and do not rush to redeem this violence. A MAN WAS LYNCHED TODAY. Again and again we find ourselves... here, where even Jesus is groping for God. Rev. T. Denise Anderson Commentary on John 19:1-30 for @sanctifiedart Image from the Library of Congress

Mary said, How can this be? The angel said, Do not be afraid. Mary said, May it be so. But when Mary went to Elizabeth’s house And Elizabeth opened the door, ... Joylike a tipped cup of water Spilled out everywhere. I imagine that Elizabeth laughed. I imagine that Mary framed her growing belly. I imagine that both women pressed palms to stomach When that baby began to kick, A holy ritual as old as time. I imagine that God smiled. And I imagine, that for the first time, Mary could float. -sanctifiedart.org See more
