This is my favorite week all year as God leads us from Palm Sunday into Good Friday and then through the joy of Easter. It’s an emotional week on all counts. If you feel like you’re on a roller coaster, my advice is just go with it. It’s supposed to happen. Our Lord Jesus Christ went thorough a tumultuous week during this time over 2000 years ago. He was worshiped as a King, he then spent a wonderful night with his friends (the Last Supper); he was betrayed by a close friend; arrested; crucified and then rose from the dead. If He didn’t go through every emotion ever felt- I don’t which one He may have missed.
It’s a difficult week – but, we just have to hold on…no matter how much you are struggling. Keep remembering that there will be light soon. This too shall pass. The pain, darkness and oppression of Good Friday does give rise to Jesus being raised from the dead. Keep focused on the power inside Him which is inside you.
Glory, Glory, Glory. He is is Risen. He is Risen indeed.

As I was sitting in church this afternoon, my thoughts would not stay on my Savior but
continued to drift to His Blessed Mother. She watched as her Son was brutalized beyond
all comprehension. I am a mother, and I have sons. I cannot even begin to feel the pain of Mary as she watch the joy of her life tortured and murdered. She must have found some solice in knowing this was all the Father’s plan, but yet she was a human being. There are so many facets to being a Christian and too many lessons for one lifetime, but today I felt a bit of what Mary means to us all and what unconditional love and obedience is.
What a sacrifice!
What a lesson! Happy and Blessed Easter
