Lord Jesus,
In this Holy Week, we want to follow You step by step,
together, as a family, united in love and faith.
You entered Jerusalem acclaimed by the crowds,
come today to enter our home and our hearts.
Give us to welcome You with joy, as the Saviour You are.
On Holy Thursday, You made Yourself a servant.
Learn us to love one another in small, simple gestures,
in forgiveness, respect, daily service.
Help us to give thanks for the gift of the Eucharist
and for all the meals shared together.
On Good Friday, You gave Your life for love.
Give us to measure the immensity of your sacrifice,
and to respond with a life offered in our turn.
In our sorrows, our fatigue, our silences,
come to join us and console us.
On Holy Saturday, You seemed absent, and yet You prepared the light.
Teach us to wait in trust,
to hope even in dark times.
And on Easter morning, You rose again!
Bring forth in us your joy, your peace, your light.
Renew our family in love, in faith, in hope.
Make our home a place of Resurrection.
Amen.
