Though there is no substitute for the limited church services following the restrictions of the Covid era, the VC services, and online rituals at various times in the media and on YouTube channels have become our daily routine during this great week. But even during this crisis, we find a small minority of people who still face it. They have been criticized and criticized for suppressing online rituals and channels of broadcasting.
Most parishioners in Kerala, when they provide essential supplies to underprivileged families in the parish, have begun to complain that it is insufficient and that all families have to pay for the parish church and church establishments, but not to the interim relief. Attempts to dismantle the parochial system of the parish – the most accurate and powerful local church of the fortunes – are being shared by social media as trolls and posters.
For the faith community, protecting faith and surviving such propaganda remains a huge task in this context. The Father said, “Father, they do not know what they are doing.”
One thing is for sure; Only the crucified has the right to rise with the crucifixion. It is clear that only the crucifixioner, abuser, and whiplash victim has the right to resurrect. As the night goes on, the descent into the ascent of the ascent is a matter of inevitability and poetic justice.
Most of us are eager to share in the glory of the resurrection without the crucifixion and crucifixion of the time. The reality is that we are missing the crosses that surround us in the midst of the rush of time and our perversions. We are on our journey to seek their pleasures, but not so eager to see the crosses. In other words, we prefer to approach them for performance purposes rather than silently carrying such crosses. In local language, to fish without wetting your hands.
But the crosses are there in the public eye to seek the crucifixion. If we face them, those crosses will surely remain in our good book as a liability. So while the cross of Calvary cannot be compared to that of the crucifixion, the crucifixion is partly to bear on us. Let us try to go as far as Simeon, who helped the Crucifixion, even if he did not carry Calvary all his life. Thus we can become true believers who share in the good and the effects of the resurrection.
