3 All shall be well
Towards the end of the last century, Jesus swept
onto the stage. In "Godspell" and "Jesus Christ
Superstar", he sang in the spotlight. People seemed to be tiring
of Jesus in the tabernacle, but were intrigued by Jesus in the
greasepaint. It allowed them to explore freely, to express themselves
differently. Liturgy and theatre kept their separate identity, but
realised there was a family resemblance.
John the Baptist struck a note of urgency with
"Prepare ye the way of the Lord". Mary Magdalene reflected
well the vague and ineffectual desire of the day in "I don't
know how to love him". A woman's concern came through when she
sang "Everything will be alright". Maybe it was tentative
and more hopeful than convincing, but it echoed another woman who
spoke from a surer footing: "Sin happens, but all shall be well
and all shall be well and all manner of things shall be well".
(Julian of Norwich, 14th century)
