Session 7 - Palm Sunday

Part 1. Preparing your heart to be present with God. Allow yourself a moment in silence; acknowledging God is present with you. Perhaps take a few deep breaths. Focused breathing helps the mind to pause, reset, and reorient our attention to God.

Part 2. Slowly read through the passage. 

Part 3. Questions for personal reflection or for sharing in a group. For group facilitation, I encourage time for people to share their experiences without discussion. After each person shares the group could respond with a “thank you for sharing.” If you are using this for personal devotion I encourage giving yourself time to journal. 

• What does this passage reveal to you about Jesus?
• I invite you to imagine this scene in the passage, as though you are there. 
• What is your experience like, as you imagine the scene? What thoughts come to mind? What emotions do you feel? Do any questions come up for you? 

Part 4. Breath prayers, as provided daily, are a simple way to engage the passage throughout your day. There are two parts to each breath prayer; simply say the first phrase as you breathe in, the second phrase as you breathe out. You can take small moments throughout your day to engage with this prayer (consider setting several daily reminders on your phone). This is also a great way to calm yourself when you get flustered amidst the busyness of life.  

Breath Prayer

Blessed is He who comes...

In the name of the Lord…
