Thank you for sharing this, Kathryn.

I know that point of giving up during childbirth (I had four without medication and one c-section). Relating that pain to Christ’s helps in a small way to see how pain can bring about something wonderful. I like your last phrase that he is giving birth to children of God through his efforts. A beautiful way to see Christ’s atonement.

Happy Easter! (and I’m with all those who wish Mormons had better Easter traditions. Is there even an Easter fireside from the first presidency?).

I stand all amazed at the love Jesus offers me; confused at the grace that so fully He proffers me. I tremble to know that for me He was crucified; that for me, a sinner, He suffered, he bled and died.

But now, He lives.
He lives to comfort me when faint;
He lives to hear my soul’s complaint.
He lives to silence all my fears;
He lives to wipe away my tears;
He lives to calm my troubled heart;
He lives my hungry soul to feed;
He lives to help in time of need.
He lives, my kind, wise, heavenly friend;

He lives and loves me to the end.

Thank you for acknowledging Holy Week A) in this moving way and B) at all. Like Advent, Holy Week doesn’t get the airtime in many LDS settings as I’d like.

Courageous, candid sharing. Thanks so much.

I have felt emotional pain so deep that my heart physically hurt.

I have often wondered if, when on the cross the Savior again experienced the pain of Gethsemane for a second time, if that emotional pain was as excruciating as the physical crucifixion. I believe it was.
