This Lent: Stay With Jesus

Stay With Me: Lenten Devotional is an invitation to slow down and reflect deeply on the final 20 hours of Jesus’s earthly life. 

Each day of Lent, a reflection will help you enter into a moment with Jesus. Through the study of Sacred Scripture and imagination-based reflections, you will come to know all that Jesus experienced, said, did, and accomplished in the hours leading up to His death on the cross. 

Instead of walking through Jesus’s entire life (as we do in the Jesus Tree) Stay With Me will focus your attention on the very end of Jesus’s life and allow you to do what He asked His disciples to do: to Stay With Him.

Scripture + Holy Imagination

Stay With Me was carefully and prayerfully developed. We studied details included in the Gospels and maps of ancient Jerusalem. Based on these things, Stay With Me shares a detailed timeline of Jesus’s final hours before His death.

Stay With Me will help you better understand what Jesus saw, how far He walked, how exhausted He was, and everyone He saw and spoke to. These moments and events are reinforced with Scripture passages.

Along with a daily Scripture Passage, Stay With Me offers a beautiful imagination-based reflection. Enter the scene with Jesus, and stay near Him.

Following the imagination-based reflection, you will be invited to go deeper. You’ve learned what happened, but what is the deeper meaning here? Explore the theology behind these events. For example, why is it a big deal that the High Priest tore His robes…and that the soldiers did not tear Jesus’s robe? 

Daily Devotional

Each day’s devotion has the following parts:

• ANTIPHON
• SCRIPTURE PASSAGE
• THE MOMENT: Imaginative Reflection
• GOING DEEPER: An Explanation of Deeper Themes
• CONSIDER: A Lenten Challenge
• PRAYER
  

For Youth and Families

Warning: the final hours of Jesus’s life were brutal. 

According to the Gospel accounts, Jesus hung on the cross from 9 am until 3 pm. That’s 6 hours. Since each day of Stay With Me explores 30 minutes of Jesus’s final 20 hours of life, you will be meditating on Jesus dying on the cross for nearly two weeks of Lent.

For this reason, Stay With Me may not be the right study for your family if you have family if your children are young.

Stay With Me can be used by the whole family, or by an individual.
