HOLY WEEK DEVOTIONAL GUIDE
This is our moment to honor the living God who dwells with us and teaches the healing power of compassion in our listening, our speaking, our touching, and our walking. May our hearts overflow in gratitude and prepare to walk with Jesus during his darkest hours. Jesus is with us to the ends of the earth; let us be with him.

“In my end is my beginning, and the way out is the way in.”
~Damaris Parker-Rhodes, 1985
[Catharine Whitmire, Plain Living: A Quaker Path to Simplicity, 90]
Light, something all His children need, want, normally do not run from. Was the First thing that God created! In thinking about this “fact of life “, why is it, that we sometimes run away from, miss-understand, the Light that is really needed!✝️
“What a tragedy that Judas wasn’t at the tomb on Sunday to see that there is forgiveness even for his sin and relief even from his deep despair.”
I turned 71 last Friday. In all those years, I never thought of the above! Judas did not see it, we did! We All are truly blessed!
Amen. I thought the same. Happy Birthday.
Exactly my thoughts. Did Jesus forgive him and did he arrive in heaven?
