Holy Week - Liminal Space
Holy Week – Liminal Space
This weekend I spoke of the notion of Liminal space as it applies to Holy Week. Holy Week is the most important week of the Christian year. This year it runs from Palm Sunday March 28 to EASTER Sandy April 4.
We must not underestimate the importance of this greatest week of the Christian church year – the week we call “Holy Week”
In the jargon of anthropologists this is called “Liminal space” or “Liminal time”.
"Limina" is the Latin word for threshold, the space betwixt and between. Liminal space, therefore, is a unique spiritual position where human beings hate to be but where the biblical God is always leading us”. Father Richard Rohr
It is a time of uprooting from ruts in or lives, a time to reassess and put down new roots and deepen our commitment.
This can happen through choice as when we go on a retreat – a time of silence away – or of marriage counseling or some other kind of course ling.
It can be a time not of our own choosing as when we fall ill, experience death, job lose or moving.
Even when it happens by choice we need to know that once we have entered into the “Liminal space” we give over control to the spirit moving in our lives.
On a retreat we may go to deepen our faith and half way through have the sense we have lost our faith before we emerge to new faith. In course ling you may – not necessarily wonder at some point if you will ever had or will have a mature relationship with anyone. Orientation, disorientation, new orientation.
Such is Holy Week, but as with a retreat or marriage counseling we have to enter into this time with real earnest.

Support of my parishioners
March 26, 2010
During the past month I have been with more than the usual number of people who have been dying.
What made this past month unique was not the number of persons I was with but the fact that most of these people were conscious, coherent and able to communicate. This was a great gift for me and I hope for the dying and their families.
On one occasion when I was walking back to the parking garage to pick up my car at Kingston General Hospital after spending precious time and conversation with a person who was dying, I thought, “I hope the parishioners back at St. Paul The Apostle know how important they are” – it is because of them that I am able to be here in these important moments. It is because of your support - financial support, moral support and the spiritual support of your prayers that I am able to be present in these important moments of life.
Know how much you are valued and that you are such an important part of my ministry.
