Holy Week Prayers: Palm Sunday to Easter

Holy Week is a journey of reflection, prayer, and gratitude as we walk through the final days of Jesus’ earthly ministry. It begins with Palm Sunday, a day of celebration as Jesus entered Jerusalem to the praise of the crowds. Yet, as the week unfolds, we see the depth of His mission—the cleansing of the temple, His teachings, and the moments of preparation before His ultimate sacrifice.

Good Friday stands as the darkest yet most significant day, as Jesus willingly took on our sin, suffering death on the cross. The silence of Saturday reminds us that even when God seems distant, His promises remain true. Then, Easter Sunday arrives—the victorious moment when Jesus rises from the grave, proving that death could not hold Him.

This week is not just about remembering historical events; it is about opening our hearts to Jesus in a deeper way. It calls us to reflect on His sacrifice, embrace His love, and live in the power of His resurrection. Through Scripture and prayer, we are reminded that Jesus is not just a figure of the past—He is alive today, inviting us to follow Him with wholehearted faith.

Holy Week Prayers & Reflection

As you walk through this sacred week, consider setting aside time for intentional prayer:

• Palm Sunday – Pray for a heart that welcomes Jesus fully (Matthew 21:9).
• Maundy Thursday – Ask God to deepen your love for others, just as Jesus washed His disciples’ feet (John 13:14-15).
• Good Friday – Reflect on the depth of Christ’s sacrifice and thank Him for His grace (Isaiah 53:5).
