As we begin this Holy Week, I pray that it be for us all, a moment of an intense and up-close encounter with our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ. And that by journeying side by side with Him, we may obtain every grace and spiritual blessing necessary for our walk here on earth.
“For I fully expect and hope that I will never be ashamed, but that I will continue to be bold for Christ, as I have been in the past. And I trust that my life will bring honor to Christ, whether I live or die.”
Philippians 1:20 NLT
Mark Wahlberg: "Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life."
"I won't hide the fact that I love the Lord and want to dedicate myself to serving Him."
Christ is King

In 2003 I was not Catholic, but found myself in Spain for Holy Week.
I had never even heard of a religious procession. But on my way home one night I got cut off by one. It was like getting mugged by history, tradition, beauty, and Catholicism all at once. It was glorious.
As Jesus walks the Way of the Cross, we place ourselves behind him, following in his footsteps. As we walk with him, we contemplate his passion for the sake of humanity, his broken heart, and his life as a gift of love. vatican.va/content/leo-xi…
This lent, i didn't miss any stations of the cross. Might not be a lot but it meant so much to me. I always looked forward to it and I'm glad i didn't miss any.
May my prayers and supplication be heard and answered. Amen.
