Lenten Talk:  Mary’s Pain

Contributed by Stephen Wickman, St. Thomas Episcopal, McLean

Sometimes, when I have trouble sleeping, I listen to the BBC.  A recent segment entitled Mary’s Pain, a Lenten Talk offered by Dr. Selina Stone, touched me deeply.

Dr. Stone uses the period of Lent to come to terms with grief and loss she experienced in the untimely death of her mother to cancer.  She shares Mary’s story as encouragement to all who mourn or struggle with the large problems facing our world.

This particular offering was first broadcast on March 11 and will be available for twenty-seven days.

As Christians prepare to enter holy week, may it offer anyone who cares to listen, peace.
