Prayer

Those preceding him as well as those following kept crying out:

“Hosanna!

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!

Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is to come!

Hosanna in the highest!” Mark 11:9–10

As we enter into the holiest week of the year, it is essential that each of us see the journey of Christ this week as our own calling in life. Commit yourself to share in the events of this week, not just as an intellectual remembrance but as a living participation. We are called to consider:

How is God calling me to step forward in a sacrificial way out of love?

How is God calling me to courageously embrace my calling to give?

Strive to see this week from the perspective of the Father in Heaven and pray that you will also see the ways in which the Father is calling you to imitate His Son. Let us go and die with Him, for it is in the Cross of Christ that we will discover His eternal glory.

This week students K-6 will participate in an ancient prayer, the Way of the Cross, to remember the events of the last few hours of Jesus’ life. To remember the incredible sorrow, pain and love that led Jesus on to his death . . . where he died for us. Together we will be there as Jesus makes his journey to his Father.
