The Gospel now moves steadily toward Jerusalem. The tension grows. The decision to arrest Jesus has already formed in hardened hearts. Yet Christ continues forward freely, knowing what awaits Him.
Today we prepare our hearts for Holy Week.
Bible Verse of the Day

A Prayer of Steadfast Preparation
Lord Jesus,
The days are growing solemn. The shadow of the Cross is near. You walk toward Jerusalem with full knowledge of what awaits You, yet You do not turn back.
As Holy Week approaches, prepare my heart. Remove distraction. Remove spiritual complacency. Help me enter these sacred days with reverence and attention.
You desire to dwell among Your people. You desire to dwell within my heart. Make my soul a worthy dwelling place. Cleanse what is unclean. Strengthen what is weak.
Let me not rush into Holy Week carelessly. Give me the grace to slow down, to reflect, to accompany You in prayer. Teach me to watch and remain near.
May this final preparation purify my intentions. May I enter these sacred mysteries with humility and gratitude.
Walk with me, Lord, as I prepare to walk with You to Calvary.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
