"This, then is our desert:
to live facing despair,
but not to consent.
To trample it down under hope in the Cross.
To wage war against despair unceasingly.
That war is our wilderness.
If we wage it courageously,
we will find Christ at our side.
If we cannot face it,
we will never find him."

Our Lady of Sorrows
Our Lady from Ninian Comper's rood screen at St Mary the Virgin, Wellingborough
Some music for today: Vladimir Godar's Stálá Matka
(Stabat Mater) for alto, violin and chamber orchestra
Amazing and moving music.
