Summary
In this episode, we conclude our Lenten book study by focusing on the epilogue and sharing ideas on how to prepare for the Triduum. During Holy Week, our Lord invites us to join Him on His Paschal journey. We reflect on how He takes on our suffering, sin, and brokenness and brings them to the Father so that death may be destroyed forever. We also talk about the importance of remembering how God has transformed our lives, the call to “be not afraid”, and how our Lord is restoring our deepest identities. You are in our prayers dear friends, and we will see you again in the Easter season!

Journal Questions:
- Where do I need the Lord to grow my capacity?
- Where do I still need resurrection?
- What sorrowful places in my life need a reminder of the Lord’s victory?
- Where in my life do I despise or push away or idolize my humanity?
Discussion Questions:
- How can you embrace a kingdom mindset this Holy Week?
- What has been your Jubilee story?
- How do you see your humanity as an obstacle rather than a gift to the world?
- How does the Lord want to personally and individually restore your humanity?
Quote to Ponder:
“There are ways of being crucified that do not involve rough wood and heavy nails, but a love beyond our capacity to love, which means a love that has been given to us by God.” (Catherine Doherty)
Scripture for Lectio:
“The next day the great crowd that had come to the festival heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord, The King of Israel!” Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, as it is written: “do not be afraid daughter of Zion; look your king is coming, sitting on a donkey’s colt.”” (John 12:12-15)
