4-10-19 Lenten Endings

God, our Lenten journey draws nearer to an end. The benefit of hindsight allows us to see the events that are fast approaching. Slow down our minds that we might fully experience the height of exultation this Sunday. Grant that we might see the sudden change that, even now, still comes between Thursdays and Fridays. We ask it in the name of the Christ who is leading through it all to Easter. Amen.
