Holy Week begins on Palm Sunday and ends on Easter

Starting this Sunday (Palm Sunday), I will be including readings without comments that follow the last week of Jesus' life and ministry in Jerusalem. I will return to all of these readings and provide comments in the months ahead, so don't worry that I won't say something about them!

Two prayers to prepare for Holy Week:

Almighty God, whose most dear Son went not up to joy but

first he suffered pain, and entered not into glory before he

was crucified: Mercifully grant that we, walking in the way

of the cross, may find it none other than the way of life and

peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Almighty and everliving God, in your tender love for the

human race you sent your Son our Savior Jesus Christ to take

upon him our nature, and to suffer death upon the cross,

giving us the example of his great humility: Mercifully grant

that we may walk in the way of his suffering, and also share

in his resurrection; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives

and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever

and ever. Amen.

May you have a blessed Holy Week.
