Scripture

A large crowd of people followed Jesus, including many women who mourned and lamented him. Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep instead for yourselves and for your children, for indeed, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed.’ At that time, people will say to the mountains, ‘Fall upon us!’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us!’ for if these things are done when the wood is green what will happen when it is dry?” Luke 23:27-31

Reflection

Are times of weeping and lament an inescapable part of human existence? How can we maintain hope during these times?

Prayer

We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you. Through your faithfulness, you have redeemed the world.
