O Jesus
as holy week begins
i find myself
anxious and afraid
of all that will
be required of me
in the days ahead
help me
Lord Jesus
to not just focus
on the dying
but also on
the being raised
to new life
help me to
always remember
that in the end
life wins

Scripture: Luke 19:28-44
Journal: How is Jesus calling you to follow him during this Holy Week?
Reflection:
Jesus rode into Jerusalem fully knowing all
that awaited him there. Thus, we too
must endure the pain of the cross, in order to experience the joy of the
resurrection.
Thank you, Lord Jesus,
for riding into Jerusalem—fully knowing all that awaited you there. Help us, this week, to follow you all the way
to the cross, and then on to the empty tomb, that we too may die and be raised
to new life.
Prayer
Closing
Prayer: By the passion of Your Divine Son, You caused
an instrument of shameful death to be for us the means of life; Grant us so to
glory in the cross of Christ, that we may gladly suffer shame and loss for the sake
of Your Son. Amen. —Venite by
Robert Benson
