Week 6 — The Way of the Cross

Scripture: Philippians 2:5–11

5 Let the same mind be in you that was[a] in Christ Jesus,

6 who, though he existed in the form of God,
    did not regard equality with God
    as something to be grasped,
7 but emptied himself,
    taking the form of a slave,
    assuming human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a human,
8     he humbled himself
    and became obedient to the point of death—
    even death on a cross.

9 Therefore God exalted him even more highly
    and gave him the name
    that is above every other name,
10 so that at the name given to Jesus
    every knee should bend,
    in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue should confess
    that Jesus Christ is Lord,
    to the glory of God the Father.

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, who humbled Yourself for love of the world, shape our hearts after Yours. Teach us humility, compassion, and obedience, that we may walk Your way with faithfulness. Amen.

Reflection:
Holy Week draws us into the depth of Christ’s love. The One who had every right to power chose instead the path of service. The cross reveals not defeat but divine self‑giving. As we approach Good Friday, we are invited to see again the love that holds nothing back—and to let that love reshape our lives.
