Dear Holy Father,
Yesterday, Palm Sunday, I kept thinking about Jesus entering the city as people celebrated him, putting palm branches and their cloaks on the road. What a joyous celebration. And yet, Jesus knew exactly what he was headed for. I kept wondering if I would be able to do your will to that extreme. But then, I am not God. Even Jesus had a 'human' side and asked 3 times if this cup could be taken from him. I would like to think that I could put my life in front of others but I just don't know. I've lived a long time, longer than I ever expected to, and I know that I will be with you when I die. Knowing that as I do I would hope that I would be able to act swiftly to save someone else.
Praise to You, Lord, for the many blessings You have bestowed on me, my family and friends.
All Praise to You for the sacrifice of Your beloved Son, Jesus Christ, for our salvation! Every day of my life I know and appreciate that but especially now during Holy Week.
Help me, Lord, to prepare myself for your sacrifice. Help me to know my sins and to change my ways. You have my whole heart. I cannot thank You enough for my salvation.
This is always a bitter sweet week for me. Being so thrilled that I have your unconditional love and yet being devastated to know that my sins caused the pain of our Lord.
Take my heart this week and cleansed me of all my sins, and please make me aware of those sins I commit unknowingly so I can change my ways.
I love you God,
Amen
