Reflection for the Week - April 7th

When we experience oppression, suffering and a sense of the absence of God in the Christian life, these experiences are not to be left unconnected or unrelated as if they stand on their own. Rather, we are to integrate these difficulties into the cross of Christ, which provides community and mediation. Christ shares our plight and reconciles our sorrows, and this is the lens through which we are to see our lives.
