ECCLESIOLOGICAL ETCHING
April 4, 2022
Prayer for the Week: Easter is less than two weeks away. There is already a noticeable excitement beginning to take shape, but there are many more events between now and that magnificent day. O Holy God, take us on a journey where we are mindful of all that can be learned and experienced along the way. Let us not simply leap from one high point to another. Instead, guide us into the trenches of Jesus’ interactions. Allow us to feel the palpable emotions of those who he encountered along the way, including the children who were welcomed and the rich who were challenged. May our own questions find answers, even if they are not the answers we are ready to hear. Provide us a few moments to just sit with Jesus and listen to his words with fresh ears and receptive spirits. We want to be more prepared than ever before to engage the full story of Jesus and his self-giving love, no matter how discomforting it might be. Amen.
