Monday of Holy Week

Six days before Passover Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. They gave a dinner for him there, and Martha served, while Lazarus was one of those reclining at table with Him. Mary took a liter of costly perfumed oil made from genuine aromatic nard and anointed the feet of Jesus and dried them with her hair; the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil. | read more

Tuesday of Holy Week

Reclining at table with His disciples, Jesus was deeply troubled and testified, "Amen, amen, I say to you, one of you will betray me." The disciples looked at one another, at a loss as to whom he meant. One of His disciples, the one whom Jesus loved, was reclining at Jesus' side. So Simon Peter nodded to Him to find out whom He meant. He leaned back against Jesus' chest and said to Him, "Master, who is it?" | read more

Wednesday of Holy Week
Spy Wednesday

The Lord GOD has given me a well-trained tongue, That I might know how to speak to the weary a word that will rouse them. Morning after morning he opens my ear that I may hear; And I have not rebelled, have not turned back. I gave my back to those who beat me, my cheeks to those who plucked my beard; My face I did not shield from buffets and spitting. | read more
