SIXTH FULL WEEK OF LENT 2025: OBEDIENCE & HUMILITY
HOLY WEEK: OBEDIENCE & HUMILITY
This calendar guides you through the 40 days of Lent (not counting Sundays) plus Easter Week. Each day offers scripture, reflection, and a simple practice to deepen your faith and prepare your heart for the joy of Easter. The practices are designed for real life — accessible regardless of your circumstances or where you are in your Christian journey. May this season bring you closer to Christ and the renewal He offers.
This week we follow Jesus through the final days of his ministry on earth. Holy Week invites us to witness the depth of Christ’s love expressed through his humble obedience, even to death on a cross. These readings encourage us to reflect on how we might follow his example of selfless love and trust in God’s purposes, even in the face of suffering.
