Prayer for Holy Week

Jesus my Lord,

let me strengthen my courage

by taking on the courage

of all those people who have been "centurions" for me.

Many have faced disasters

and hard times with great constancy.

The upper hand of evil never turned them against you.

They kept going.

Let me be like them, Lord.

No matter what the cross,

let me never stop declaring you

to be "truly the Son of God,

the source of my hope,

the reason why I will never quit on life.
