A journey through the Passion

Image result for holy week






Holy Week is the center of my spiritual life.  The slow movement liturgically from Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, to his last meal with his disciples, to the Garden of Gethsemane for prayer, through his arrest to his final hours on a cross.  I seek no triumphal or dramatic rendition of the events; for me these days are a time of spiritual contemplation and deep meditation.  The stark reality of Holy Week stands in complete contrast to the incomprehensible surprise and promise of Easter morning.

I believe that embracing the days of Holy Week will enrich even as it challenges your spiritual life. But there is no law here; come if you want.  Holy Week is gift, not obligation.
