Holy Week 2018 – Prayer Powerpoint
At the end of Holy Week, we will once again remember the fulfilment of Jesus’ words:
“The Son of Man came not to be served but to serve
And to give his life as a ransom for many.” (Matthew 20:28)
But in the days leading up to Jesus’ crucifixion, also, the gospels describe a number of significant events, encounters, symbolic actions and teaching.
For each day in Holy Week, a simple reflection, comprised of a single image and a short passage of Scripture, is offered for contemplation. The Biblical texts are all drawn from events the Gospel writers place in Holy Week.
