As we start this holiest of weeks in the Christian faith, let’s position our hearts to receive the truth, reality, and incredible act of love we celebrate. This week, I won’t be sharing any faves. That feels too hard on this most crushing and most exhilarating of weeks. But, I do have two resources to suggest if you’re looking for ways to keep your heart, mind, and practices focused on the meaning of these days.
Podcast
Easter 2020 with Annie F. Downs on That Sounds Fun – Last year, Annie read through the Gospel aligning each day of Holy Week to that day in the Easter story. As I listened to these last year, I was on walks in those earliest days of the pandemic and my heart was broken, filled, and encouraged through each of these days. I plan to do this again starting on Monday this week. It is beautiful and such a gift that I highly recommend adding to your Holy Week practices.
Music
Holy Week 2021 on Spotify – I’ve created a playlist of some of my favorite songs that point to the incredible acts that took place between Palm Sunday and the Resurrection.
