Easter Sunday: He is Risen
Entering into the passion of Jesus is not easy. Seeing and experiencing suffering, our perspective changes to hope and the comfort of Jesus' presence no matter what. How can you share that with someone in need today?
Holy Thursday: The Divine Gesture
As we dine together at home, how do remember that Jesus is there with us?
Wednesday of Holy Week: Distinguishing between Wheat and Weeds
God gives us wisdom through our experience. How does sharing my experience sustain others?
Monday of Holy Week: Overcoming Fear
Fear can make us feel powerless. Compare your fears with the fears of the people of Syria. Pray for their comfort and peace as you pray for your own.
