Holy Week Reflections

Holy Week: Walking the Way of the Cross

Lent culminates in Holy Week, where we journey with Jesus through His final days, from the joy of Palm Sunday to the sorrow of Good Friday and the silence of Holy Saturday.

Palm Sunday: "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!" (Matthew 21:9) – Jesus enters Jerusalem in triumph, yet the cross looms ahead. Reflect on the fleeting nature of human praise and the steadfastness of God's love. Maundy Thursday: "A new commandment I give you: Love one another." (John 13:34) – The Last Supper teaches us humility and self-giving love. Good Friday: "It is finished." (John 19:30) – Christ's sacrifice is the ultimate act of love. Pause in gratitude. Holy Saturday: A day of waiting and silence. Hope is not lost, for Easter is coming.

Reflection Question: How has this Lenten journey shaped me? What lessons will I carry beyond Easter?

Final Reflection: Stepping into the Resurrection

Lent is not an end—it is a beginning. As we move into the joy of Easter, let us carry forward the renewal we have experienced. What new habits, prayers, or insights will you continue?

Closing Prayer: Lord, through these 40 days, You have walked with me in the wilderness, called me to repentance, shown me mercy, and led me into light. As I step into the joy of Easter, help me to live with renewed faith, love, and trust in You. Amen.

May this guide be a source of encouragement and depth in your Lenten journey. Blessings to you as you walk toward the hope of Easter!
