I never know what to think or how to act during Holy Week. On the one hand I know how the story ends – it ends in resurrection. On the other hand the road to resurrection is unspeakably horrible. I just don’t know.

I’ve been reading through Mark’s gospel. It is extraordinary to see just how very much Jesus packed into this single week of his life. Much of what we know about Jesus and his teachings come during Holy Week. One week that changed the history of the world.
