Good Friday (Holy Week 2022 Devotionals)
April 15, 2022
Today, we commemorate Good Friday. If yesterday was a bewildering number of historical and theological events to meditate upon, today escalates that by a factor of 10.
We will ponder, of all things this morning, what it means that a God comes to die. And, that we are somehow wrapped up in that reasoning and that event. I
Maundy Thursday Lectio Divina (Holy Week, 2022)
April 14, 2022
Welcome to Maundy Thursday - a day filled with historical events loaded with theological meaning as we near towards the end of Jesus' life. I count at least 12 different things that happened on Maundy Thursday, each worth an hour of your thought and reflection today!
We'll be centered in John 13 for this meditation - but as always, if there is another passage of scripture that you prefer on this day, mute whatever I'm saying and any passage of scripture can be used with this method of meditation!
Spy Wednesday (Holy Week 2022)
April 13, 2022
Join us for a lectio divina reading of Matthew's telling of Judas' betrayal of Jesus during Holy Week. An opportunity to allow God to speak to us through his text and his spirit and to invite us into his presence each day during Holy Week.
Holy Tuesday (Holy Week, 2022)
April 12, 2022
Today's Holy Week meditation will be focused on Jesus' activities on Holy Tuesday - his confrontations with the religious leaders and asking God to use those texts to speak to us today. This method of scripture reading is known as Lectio Divina, and invites us into a place of quiet and meditation, allowing us to take our thoughts to God, but also to allow God to speak to us.
This is also available as a video on our Facebook page and our Website!
Holy Monday (Passion Week 2022)
April 11, 2022
The week between Palm Sunday and Easter is an incredibly dense week, theologically, for Christians. Nearly half of John’s gospel, for example is dedicated to this week, sometimes referred to as Passion Week. Various traditions of Christianity mark the week differently, noting the things that Jesus did in Jerusalem leading up to his confrontation with the Elders, the Chief Priests, Herod and Pilate ahead of his trial and crucifixion on Good Friday.
This week, we’re going to have a daily lectio divina, late each morning, guided at giving each of us a mid-day break as a time for prayer, reflection and meditation on both the historical story of Jesus of Nazareth, and devotionally what that can mean for us today.
