Scripture Reading Plan
This Wednesday marks the start of Lent. We’ll resume reading the Gospel of Mark, focusing on Jesus’ final week on Earth. We’ll also include Matthew and Luke’s accounts.
Lent is a time for introspection, allowing us to consider Jesus’ suffering and his selfless sacrifice. As we immerse ourselves in the passion accounts within the Gospels during Lent, let us pay close attention to the emotions expressed by Jesus in these narratives. By doing so, we can cultivate empathy and compassion for Jesus.
Reading Plan for this week:
Mar 2 (Sunday) Mark 8:1-36
Mar 3 (Monday) Mark 9:1-50
Mar 4 (Tuesday) Mark 10:1-52
Mar 5 (Wednesday) Mark 11:1-33
Mar 6 (Thursday) Matthew 21:1-22
Mar 7 (Friday) Luke 19:28-47
Mar 8 (Saturday) Luke 20:1-18
Mar 9 (Sunday) Luke 20:19-40
