Holy Week
This Week's Good News Mantra
Like Jesus, I will choose mercy.
Reflection
Jesus offers his crucifiers forgiveness, even as he is dying on the cross. Who feels hardest to forgive? What would forgiveness look like?
Prayer
Holy God, in this world, it feels like forgiveness is synonymous with excusing bad behavior. In this world, mercy is seen as weakness. But you managed to forgive Judas, Peter, even total strangers who nailed you to a cross. Show me the ways of your mercy. Show me how to call in rather than call out. Show me how to be more like you. Amen.
