Palm Sunday 2025

The Passion of The Christ according to Luke

Here are the steps you can use as a guide

Lectio- Read.  Just listen to the reading passively.

Meditatio-  Listen to the reading again, this time paying special attention to any words or phrases that grab your attention.  And pay special attention to your response to the words or phrases.

Oratio - Now follow that feeling or response to the words and lean into a conversation with God.  It may help to go back and listen again, putting yourself on the scene as a character.  Do you have questions for God?  Do you have any special requests to ask of Him?

Contemplatio- Go back and listen again if you need.  In this step spend some time in His wounded and Sacred Heart.  A Heart wounded by betrayal.  Wounded by our sins.  Wounded and yet entirely loving.  Let His love wash over you.  Let your contrition wash over Him.  Bathe Him in your contrite tears.  Make a promise to never sin again.  Entrust your heart to His.
