“A Prayer for Holy Week” is a prayer to the Holy Trinity to guide the faithful through the sacred days of Holy Week leading to Easter. This contemplative prayer invites us to journey alongside Christ during His Passion, from Palm Sunday to the Resurrection. Each verse addresses a different Person of the Trinity: the Father, who sent His Son; Jesus, who carried the cross and endured His Sacred Passion and Resurrection; and the Holy Spirit, who guides our spiritual pilgrimage. This prayer encourages us Christians to pause amid life’s distractions, unite their Lenten sacrifices with Christ’s suffering, and remain attentive to the profound mystery of redemption that unfolds during this most solemn week of the liturgical year.

Heavenly Father, as we walk through Holy Week, open our hearts to witness Your Son’s sacrifice anew. In the noise of daily tasks and worldly concerns, help us pause and turn our thoughts toward Calvary.
Lord Jesus, You carried Your cross out of love for us. May each step we take this week honor Your journey. Let our Lenten sacrifices unite with Your suffering, and remind us of the price paid for our salvation.
Holy Spirit, guide us through these solemn days. From Palm Sunday’s hosannas to Easter morning’s joy, keep our souls attentive to the mystery of redemption, that we might die and rise with Christ in glory. Amen.
