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?
Holy Monday
Jesus angrily cleanses the Temple, offended by His Father’s House turned into a marketplace.
It’s about service again. How often are we tidying up after others, cleaning messes that we didn’t make, searching for items we didn’t lose, trying to fix things we didn’t break?
I think only Jesus can really get away with flipping tables.
My Prayer
Lord, help me to be patient and gracious in the works that I do.
