Friday of the Fifth Week of Lent : The Crucifixion Draws Near

Gospel Reading: John 10:31–32

The Jews picked up rocks to stone Jesus. Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of these are you trying to stone me?”

 

My courageous Lord, as we draw near to the commemoration of Your own suffering and death, help me to unite my crosses to Yours.
Help me to see in my daily struggle Your presence and strength.
Help me to see the purpose you have for me in the midst of these challenges.
Jesus, I trust in You.
Amen.
