“As we enter these sacred days of Holy Week, we are invited again - not as observers, but as companions - to walk closely with Jesus.”
It’s a challenge to provide reflections for this group of devout, learned, educated and intelligent people. I have felt a weight of stress as we approach Holy Week - how can any “reflection” written at a computer in 2026 live up to the gravity of these moments, which we remember this week?
I won’t try for gravity. I will try to get back to brevity. To provide us with a new way of looking at this week’s journey. That’s why I love this quote above - the first line of this month’s ISI Insights from the Ignatian Spirituality Institute.
We are invited not to be observers this week, but companions.
Pause today and reflect. How can I walk closely with Jesus this week? What action, what prayer, what conversation with Jesus can I have, each day this week, to walk beside Him? To ask Him to walk beside me?
