Katie Couric was at the top of her career as a television anchor when her young husband died unexpectedly from colon cancer. She has so much to teach us about what happens when our prob-lems cannot be easily solved—no matter how hard we try. She shares candidly about the lengths she went to avoid grief, but why she had to learn to face it nonetheless. We need the courage to try (and the wisdom to stop).

Pray

Lord Jesus, I want to walk with you through this week, to be present to the tumult of all that you experienced, to wait with you, to watch as rough hands took hold of your all too human flesh, as you experienced betrayal and rejection. Let me see you, and weep that such a thing ever hap-pened to you, O spotless Lamb. Amen.
