The Waiting and the Wailing
March 14, 2022 | By Karis Ryu YDS’23
To believe in Jesus Christ is to believe in the God-man sent to die for the healing and renewal of the Creator’s world: to believe in suffering and healing, hand in hand. We must feel sorrow in order to also feel the necessity, impact, and joy of Jesus Christ’s act of ultimate and utter service when it comes—over and over again.
Meditations on the Fourth Word from the Cross
March 6, 2022 | By Elizabeth Propst H’23

Jesus Wept: In Defense of Sorrow
March 22, 2021 | By Bella Gamboa JE ‘22
Sorrow is a particularly relevant emotion during Lent, all the more so in a Lenten season that marks a year of profound hardship. In my own life, I find that sorrow is quite an accessible emotion. I only occasionally experience the overflowing exuberance that I feel I ought to have as a Christian, as one who has eternal hope and salvation in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ—the events which Christians eagerly and repentantly await throughout these forty days.
