Healing abounds in the Christ liturgies as the church continues to enact the story. My own continuing path to wholeness rejoices in the expected birth in the next weeks of a granddaughter. Our son Josh and his wife Ngoc bring my own Vietnam experience full circle in the gift of new life that forever links the Garretts and the Dinhs (a wonderful Vietnamese family in Costa Mesa, Ca). Christ’s words continue to bless, “Do you understand what I have done for you?”
