Meditation

Holy Thursday

"If I your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash the feet of one another . For I have set an example, that you should do as I have done to you."
( John 13:15)

Good Friday

"Christ became obedient even unto death, dying on a cross. Therefore God raised him on high and gave him a name above all other names."
(Gospel Acclamation)

Easter Sunday

"Christ is our hope, for all to see.
To him who rose, all glory be;
Christ is risen in Galilee, Alleluia!"
(Sequence for Easter Sunday)

Reflection

The risen Christ entrusted his disciples to be signs and witnesses of his love and salvation for the world. He extends the same confidence to me. Can I say 'Yes' to serving him fully?

Prayer

Jesus, Risen one, how can I refuse your confidence in me, after you gave your all for the life of the world? Bless me with your Spirit that I may participate with joy and courage of faith in sharing the new life of your Resurrection. May all who yearn in their hearts for the embrace of a loving God, find what they seek in You.
Amen.
