Jesus Wept by Ann Weems: Jesus wept, and in his weeping, he joined himself forever to those who mourn. He stands now throughout all time, this Jesus weeping, with his arms about the weeping ones: “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” He stands with the mourners, for his name is God-with-us. Jesus wept. “Blessed are those who weep, for they shall be comforted.” Someday. Someday God will wipe the tears from Rachel’s eyes. In the godforsaken, obscene quicksand of life, there is a deafening alleluia rising from the souls of those who weep, and of those who weep with those who weep. If you watch, you will see the hand of God putting the stars back in their skies one by one. With much love and prayers ❤️❤️❤️
