After a few weeks off, Tim and Kate are back recapping the season and looking back on what Lent and our conversations had to offer us. They also look forward to what the liturgical calendar holds for us in the year to come.

In this episdoe:

• Liturgy of the Ordinary by Tish Harrison Warren

In this Holy Week Midweek Moment, we encourage you lean into the practices that Troy Hatfield shared in our last episode. Tim also shares about how his reality this week has aligned with the story of Holy Week.

Additional Holy Week Resources:

• Three Holy Week Timelines (One, Two, Three)
• Children's Books for Holy Week
• A Concise Guide to Holy Week for Families from Little Way Chapel

We will be back after Easter. We pray that you have a joyous and blessed Easter as you celebrate the risen Christ. Happy Easter!

Digging into the richness and tradition of Holy Week, Troy Hatfield brings profound reflections on Lent amidst pandemic, personal transformation and schools us on the beauty of the Feast of the Annunciation!

Invitations to practice this week:

1. Contemplation: Choose one of the gospel accounts of the death and crucifixion of Jesus and read it multiple times a day for three days. Then take an imaginative approach, thinking about what happened along the way, allowing yourself to sink deeply into the story.
2. Face the difficulty of waiting. Ask yourself: What is currently unresolved in my life? What appears like it will remain in the tomb? Name it as specifically as you can. And then consider sharing that with one person.
3. Mourning: Find time to sit and allow yourself to face the intensity of your emotions right now. Give yourself permission over these three days to let yourself lean into those feelings.

We pray that you find richness this Holy Week as we anticipate the joy of Easter. Practice well.
