Running the Paschal Mystery
What if the Paschal Mystery isn’t something that Jesus went through a couple thousand years ago, but something that we’re all invited to live every day? Using the metaphor of a marathon and his prodigious skill as a storyteller, Terry Nelson-Johnson challenges us to run our own Paschal Mystery, teaching us to look at life through the lenses of Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Easter.
