Juliana of Norwich penned these words of hope, "all shall be well," almost 650 years ago. She survived two rounds of the bubonic plague, and decades of religious and social unrest. She was the first woman to have her words published in English.

As we prepare to celebrate Holy Week and Eastertide, may her words be like a prayer, directing our hearts to the fresh mercy and grace of the Lord. The vibrant lilies, native to Israel, speak of the purity and wonder of God's work in our lives and His message of favor. The butterfly symbolizes the transforming creativity of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus' words "It is finished," proclaim his absolute victory over sin, and over all the work of the enemy of our souls. The power of the enemy is forever broken, and truly the heel of the Son of God has crushed the serpent's head. The serpent's lies, threats, and accusations are rendered powerless because of Jesus. The Lord has exposed the enemy's plan; he seeks only to steal, kill, and destroy. Our Good Shepherd has dealt the fatal blow to him, and all the chaos and confusion dissolves like the mist.
