Lent
Prayer for Holy Week
Entering the most sacred week of the Church's year with attention
1 min read
Holy Week moves quickly from Palm Sunday's celebration to the sorrow of Good Friday and the joy of Easter. This prayer asks for the presence of mind to enter each day fully.
Lord, this week holds the heart of everything I believe. Don't let me rush past it. Let me enter the joy of Palm Sunday, the intimacy of Holy Thursday, the sorrow of Good Friday, and the silence of Holy Saturday, so that Easter morning finds me truly ready to rejoice. Amen.
