All of the Sundays of Pascha, from Thomas Sunday, the Myrrh-bearing women, the Paralytic, the Samaritan woman and the Blind man, have compelling stories, with a unifying theme: You must have fire in your belly! Whether we are beset by ignorance, sins, confusion - whatever - none of this will matter if we have fire in our belly! All these stories who how God reacts to our desire, and overcomes our problems.
