From Palm Sunday to Easter, let us enter into Holy Week by praying with the heart of Mary.

0 shares

As we read today's Gospel, let us contemplate the steps of Christ from his Passion to his Resurrection, remaining close to the one whose heart is united to his. A woman, a mother, given to us by Jesus himself. First on the journey, Mary leads us on the path to Heaven.


Each day, a text and a audio will guide you in prayer: a passage from the Gospel, a meditation, and an invitation to pray. With Mary, let us learn to remain close to Christ, allowing our own nights to open to the light of Easter and to live, ourselves, as risen Christ.
