The story of Jesus includes many moments around tables, as this was part of his ritual of relationship even to the last. In this fifth week of the Lenten season, we will hear a story of love and devotion from the disciple Mary, directed at Jesus at the table. As we will see, Jesus tries to prepare his beloved companions for his death. Talk of death is really hard for many of us; we would rather believe we and our loved ones are invincible, that we are able to will ourselves into being strong. We all know that isn’t always how the story goes. We are fragile. Join us in the fragility of life as we worship this Sunday, in person or online.
