The Sabbath Between

In the Christian liturgical calendar this is the day between: The day between the colossal failure of Friday and the magnificent triumph of Sunday.

It is suffused with the light of Sabbath, the affirmation of God: It is finished. It is good. These words apply to the cosmos, they apply especially to us. God the Father says to us: I am pleased with you. You have done enough. God the Mother says to us: you are beautiful, what you have made is beautiful. God the Friend says to us: My heart has found sweet rest with you.

This Sabbath between affirms all this with proof, without demonstration. It overflows with the word of God: It is finished. It is good.


Tomorrow, we will enter again into our work of making God's words visible in the world.
