The Gospels weave a dense fabric to tell the story of the last days of Jesus’ life, and throughout history Christians have chosen different ways to reflect and remember the events of the Passion. This guide provides scriptures to read and prayers that help walk you through the major themes as they are often observed during Holy Week - starting with Palm Sunday and ending on the Saturday before Resurrection Sunday.
Each Day has two readings - a morning and an evening reading. The first one is taken from the Gospel accounts and the second one from the Psalms of Ascents. Our Church, Christ the King, has been engaged in a year long series on the Psalms of Ascents. This collection of psalms is particularly poignant in the last days of Jesus life as they were popularly sung by Jewish pilgrims traveling to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover.
Each day also provides a prayer for Adults and one for children. You may choose to use these or simply let them guide your own prayers.
