Opus Dei

Some reflections that can assist our prayer during these final days of Lent.

Some reflections that can enrich our prayer on Easter Sunday.

Reflections for Holy Saturday. The topics are: hope illuminates Holy Saturday; those who accompany Christ in his abandonment; Mary consoles and strengthens us in difficult moments.

Reflections for Good Friday. The topics are: Jesus suffered the Passion out of love for us; accompanying Christ in his agony; in the Cross we find our refuge and our salvation.

Reflections for Holy Thursday. The topics are: Jesus washes the apostles’ feet; God gives himself to us in the Eucharist; giving thanks for the Eucharist and for the priesthood.

Reflections for Wednesday of Holy Week. The topics are: Judas was an apostle chosen by Jesus; divine mercy is greater than our weakness; a hope that leads us back to God.

Reflections for Tuesday of Holy Week. The topics are: Saint Peter learned to be humble; lowering oneself to follow Christ; relying on God's strength.

Reflections for Monday of Holy Week. The topics are: Mary of Bethany gives Jesus her most precious possession; our deeds can bring Christ's "good aroma" to the world; caring for Jesus in the Tabernacle.

The first of the reflections for each day of Holy Week. The topics for Palm Sunday are: our Lord’s entrance into Jerusalem; the donkey: the one closest to Jesus; grasping how God reigns
