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…
ENOUGH OF THAT!
“Who’s the greatest?”
“I’m ready to go with you, to prison and to death.”
“Look, here are two swords.”
Jesus replies… “Enough of that!”
Power over the world.
Pride in our own strength.
Prepared for a fight.
Jesus replies… “Enough of that!”
“The greatest must become like a servant.”
“The rooster won’t crow today before you have denied me.”
“When I sent you out without a wallet, a bag, or sandals, you didn’t lack anything…”
We reply… “Jesus, enough of that!”
I compiled this playlist for Lent last year and the songs are still just as powerful and relevant today. Enjoy…
