Opening Prayer: Your Divine Son gave his body to be whipped,
and his face to be spat upon; Grant us grace to accept joyfully the sufferings
of our time, confident of the glory that shall be revealed. Amen. (Venite by Robert Benson)
Scripture: John 13:21-32
Journal: Put yourself in the room with Jesus and the
disciples. What do the words and the
spirit of Jesus do within you? How do
those words and that troubled spirit make you feel? What is your response when he tells everyone that
one of the people in this room will betray him?
What do these words reveal in your heart?
Reflection:
The cross is an invitation; each person must say
yes. No one becomes a disciple without
saying yes to Jesus taking us, blessing us, breaking us open, and passing us
around. ~Edward J. Farrell
Prayers
Closing Prayer: Lord,
The house of my soul is narrow;
enlarge it that you may enter in.
It is ruinous, O repair it!
It displeases Your sight.
I confess it, I know.
But who shall cleanse it,
to whom shall I cry but to you?
Cleanse me from my secret faults,
O Lord, and spare Your servant from strange sins.
The house of my soul is narrow;
enlarge it that you may enter in.
It is ruinous, O repair it!
It displeases Your sight.
I confess it, I know.
But who shall cleanse it,
to whom shall I cry but to you?
Cleanse me from my secret faults,
O Lord, and spare Your servant from strange sins.
~St. Augustine
