Day 36 on the Journey

Tuesday - Luke 22:63-71

The last week of Jesus' earthly ministry was full of conflict and violence.

We hear from Luke's gospel one of the most brutal moments in all of scripture. The police mock and beat Jesus before they interrogated him. As you read were you able to imagine yourself close to Jesus?

If you can imagine yourself outside the cell in which Jesus is being held. You are close enough that you can hear the sounds of the mean beating Jesus. Listen to the grunts of the men trying to hurt another man. The you hear Jesus speak. He only utters a few words. What does he say?

Questions for reflection and comment:

Imagine you are standing with Peter. He turns to you and asks, "What can you do?"

What do you want to do?

You must answer Peter, What do you say?

I think I might suggest we pray.

You and Peter utter a prayer together on behalf of Jesus.

What do you pray?
