My Saviour,
You invite me to share in the glory of the resurrection. Please stay with me as I struggle to see how accepting the crosses of my life will free me from the power of the one who wants only to destroy my love and trust in you. Help me to be humble and accepting like your son, Jesus. I want to turn to you with the same trust he had in your love. Save me, Lord. Only you can save me.
Amen

We continue our Journey with Jesus today by turning our attention to scripture. Together we pause to pray...
God of such unwavering love, how do I "celebrate" the passion and death of Jesus? I often want to look the other way and not watch, not stay with Jesus in his suffering. Give me the strength to see his love with honesty and compassion and to feel deeply your own forgiveness and mercy for me. Help me to understand how to "celebrate" this week. I want to be able to bring my weaknesses and imperfections with me as I journey with Jesus this week, so aware of his love.
In your name I pray,
Amen

Holy week is a time to remember the last week of Jesus’ life, from his entry to Jerusalem to his crucifixion and resurrection. Walking that journey with Jesus helps us prepare for the celebration of the Resurrection on Easter Sunday.
Each day this week, we pause to pray...
God of love,
Our prayer is simple:
Your son, Jesus, suffered and died for us.
We know only
that we cannot have real strength
unless we rely on you.
We cannot feel protected
from our many weaknesses
until we turn to you
for forgiveness and your unalterable love.
Help us to share this
strength, protection and love with others.
In your holy name we pray,
Amen
