Fifth Sunday in Lent (Year A, RCL)

Shakeshafte and Other Plays explores the messiness of language and meaning.

They put us in touch with essential things that we know to be dear or wrong.

“Yearning for life is a part of what it means to be human.”

God’s Spirit before birth and after death

We practice our faith in the season of Lent so that we know what to do when things get harder. 

“Life is built, and then it stops, and then Christ reaches in and brings it forward again.”

Lazarus’s story is one of grief—and hope.

We gave our readers a one-word writing prompt: “dirt.”

Maybe Jesus’ tears at Bethany come from more than grief.
