Holy Week (2010)
selected by Peter F. Whyte
As an aid to your meditation, here is a selection of hymns and prayers for Holy Week 2010.
All the hymns chosen focus our thoughts on the cross of Christ, which is the only thing in which a Christian may boast (Galatians 6:14). They remind us of our sin, the reason for Christ's death. But they point us forward to his coming in glory, the hope of heaven. We need both the backward look to Calvary lest we forget our purification from our former sins (2 Peter 1:9), and the forward look to glory that motivates us to purify ourselves, just as Christ is pure (1 John 3:3).
