Prayer Points for the Paschal Triduum

Paschal Triduum
being with the Lord

Grace: My Lord Jesus, I beg for the grace to be present in your suffering, death and resurrection that I may all the more identify my life in you and with you.

Scripural Passages:
Jn 13:1-15, Last Supper
Jn 18:1-19:42, the Passion of our Lord
Mt. 28:1-10, the Resurrection of our Lord

Points:

1. Take time with your Lord. Set at least an hour of prayer time with him during the days of the Paschal Triduum.
2. Read the scripture passages. Enter into the scene of each of the passages (or, you may opt to prayerfully watch Mel Gibson’s the Passion of Christ).
3. What significant events did you find? Why did you find it to be significant? What feelings surfaced?
4. Go back to those events and feelings. In what way does this bring you closer to (or farther from) your God?
5. End your prayer by asking yourself these questions: What have I done for Christ? What am I doing for Christ? What will I do for Christ?
