Lord, I thank you for loving me so much that you endured such suffering and pain so that I may live with you eternally. Artists throughout history help me to meditate upon the sufferings you bore. The Gospels come alive as I hear the Taize song Jesus, Remember Me, and as I think of how, no matter where on earth, this week, all your disciples will focus on the great Paschal Mystery of your suffering, death and resurrection. I pray that my prayers this week will be put into action and that I may live in imitation of you.
Jesus, my Resurrection and my LIFE, grant that I may rise with you! May I see my personal sufferings as the paschal mystery you will for me and may I offer them as prayer for others. May I rise above the inconveniences of life too, living on the higher ground of dying to my own needs and wants, so that others may live more fully.
A blessed Holy Week to all who read this! You are in my Holy Week prayers.
