The Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God, given to us for our instruction in God’s ways (1 Corinthians 10:11); we are called to read, learn, study, and meditate on them to become fully developed followers of Jesus Christ. We invite you to join us on that journey, using some or all of the resources below.

Prayer for the Day

Almighty and everlasting God, in your tender love for us you sent your Son our Savior Jesus Christ to take upon himself our nature, and to suffer death upon the Cross, giving us the example of his great humility: Mercifully grant that we may walk in the way of his suffering, and come to share in his resurrection; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.  Amen.

Readings: Mark 11:1-11, Philippians 2:5-11, Psalm 22:1-11, Mark 14:32-15:47

Study Questions for Mark 14:32-15:47

  1. This week, meditate on Mark’s narrative of Jesus’ arrest, trial and crucifixion. Try to set aside five or ten minutes each day, pick one person from Mark’s account, and imagine yourself in that person’s place as the story unfolds. What do you see? hear? smell? feel? How does Jesus respond to you as the narrative progresses?
