The mysteries of our faith - darkness and light, falsity and truth, dying and rising, humanity and divinity, Lent and Easter - were all very vivid and concrete dimensions of daily life in the Middle Ages. Here, Sister Wendy reminds us that this reality - its challenges and consequences - is still with us.
