PRAYER FOR HOLY WEEK
Lord Jesus, you call us to follow you even in our hardest and darkest moments.
Each of us belongs to you, and together we are one in you.
This hour-your-hour is also ours: the hour of your Church's suffering and the pain of all humanity.
It is the hour of darkness, when the world feels shaken to its core, and creation itself groans and longs for redemption.
It's the time when lies seem louder than truth, when success is praised more than integrity, and when we lose sight of the path that leads to the Father.
Too often, we forget that in you we see the truest and most beautiful image of what it means to be human.
Lord, give us the courage and grace to follow you always, even through the cross, into the hope of Resurrection.
Amen
