Opening Prayer: 
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
Seasons by Jim Branch

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
