As we go through Holy Week, let us look very carefully at Jesus our Savior. We watch, not just to admire, but also to learn, to penetrate the mind, the thinking, the attitudes and the values of Jesus so that we, in the very different circumstances of our own lives, may walk in His footsteps. If we are to be His disciples, He invites us to walk His way, to share His sufferings, to imitate His attitudes, to “empty” ourselves, to live in service of others – in short, to love others as He loves us. This is not at all a call to a life of pain and misery. Quite the contrary, it is an invitation to a life of deep freedom, peace, and happiness. If it were anything else, it would not be worth considering.
Adults: How will you try to imitate the obedience and humility of Christ during this Holy Week?
Children: What could you do to show respect for Jesus this week as the Church remembers His Death and Resurrection?
