This year for Lent, I invite you to join me in meditating on the Passion Narrative of Christ. Where do you find yourself in the story? What impact does the cross have on your everyday life?
Take some time to read slowly through the passages listed for each week. What is the Spirit speaking to your heart? What “wonderings” arise within you? How is God calling you to respond?
I offer my own simple reflections (100 words or less), just to get us started…
WHY ARE YOU SLEEPING?
Pray that you won’t give into temptation.
Why are you sleeping?
Would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?
Why are you sleeping?
One of them struck the high priest’s servant, cutting of his right ear…
Stop! No more of this!
Why are you sleeping?
Have you come with swords and clubs to arrest me?
Why are you sleeping?
This is your time, when darkness rules.
Why are you sleeping?
Get up!
Pray that you won’t give into temptation!
I compiled this playlist for Lent last year and the songs are still just as powerful and relevant today. Enjoy…
