*There is no focus passage during Holy Week because the scriptures change every day. Instead of writing liturgy this week that prematurely jumps to the resurrection, A Place of Grace invites you to sit with the scriptures each day as you walk the path to the cross. Easter means so much more when you've walked through the week with scripture. A Place of Grace has been focusing on the Psalms this lectionary cycle, and you are encouraged to particularly look at Psalm 116:1-2, and 12-19 and share what inspires or encourages you during this season (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1092671579568761&set=a.549399683895956), but also read the gospel passage if you only read part of the passages because it tells the story of Jesus' movement.
