The Paschal Journey: Through Darkness into Light

A Pilgrimage with
The Most Rev. Frank T. Griswold, Presiding Bishop

April 13–15, 2006*
at the Cathedral College
at Washington National Cathedral

With Jesus and his disciples we go up to the Holy City and enter into the Paschal mystery of his dying and rising: to the cross and then through the cross into resurrection. This is what the celebration of Holy Week and the Great Vigil of Easter is all about. Through the waters of rebirth and the action of the Holy Spirit each one of us is baptized into Christ's death and resurrection. As we are thus baptized, we accept the ongoing dynamic of dying and rising as the fundamental law of our existence. We do not do this ritually, or symbolically, or only once, but in the continual choices and struggles that present themselves to us, personally and as a household of faith.
— The Most Rev. Frank T. Griswold
