Monica McConkey shares a series of meditations for mothers for each day of Holy Week.
Holy Week is here, and instead of trying to squeeze in elaborate crafts or activities for each day of Holy Week, I’m looking at something SIMPLER, but perhaps more meaningful. By drawing connections between the events of each day of Holy Week with the challenges of motherhood and family life, I think I can better focus my reflection and hopefully deepen my prayer!
Why not reflect on the actions and experiences of Jesus and what they can teach us or model for us in our own lives as mothers?
Good Friday
Jesus is scourged, crowned with thorns and ridiculed. He carries His Cross to Golgotha where He is crucified, all the while forgiving all others, including His aggressors.
How little our daily struggles and suffering compare to His!
My Prayer:
Jesus, my Lord and my God, have mercy on me, a sinner!
Jesus, with Your grace, I choose to forgive those who have hurt me or my loved ones.
Bless them. Let them see Your Face. Jesus, I trust in You.
