Death is the one constant in this life. Wherever we are in our life journey, we are all moving towards our death. It is inevitable, yet we resist, ignore and deny this reality. Our lives are all that much richer from knowing they will end someday. Through confronting death, we learn how to live.
The Catholic-Christian readings and liturgies of Holy Week offer an abundance of opportunities for spiritual growth. Walk with Jesus and the Christian community through Jesus' final day on this earth. Reflect with Christians throughout the world on the meaning of those final days. Find comfort and strength from the example of Jesus as he faced his death.
Book four of the Season of Grace Series, Holy Week - Season of Dying will help you in your own journey through life to death to new life. The simple vignettes based on common life experiences will help you when confronting loss, betrayal, and death.
Read the meditations all at once or day by day. Each meditation can be a self-contained moment of encouragement or a springboard to a longer period of prayer and reflection.
If we die with Christ, we shall rise with Christ. Holy Week - Season of Dying will help you on that journey.
