This week as we make our way toward Palm Sunday and Holy Week, I'd like to offer a replay of a previous episode, way back to number 15: The Happy Fault of Sin. I hope it's a blessing to you and I continue to hold you and yours in prayer as we journey together with Jesus toward Holy Week.

Here are some resources I hope will help you to engage with this week's topic in a deeper way for yourself:
1. If you'd like to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation this week, you should be able to find it offered at a number of area parishes, retreat houses, missions, shrines, Catholic colleges, and hospitals. Check their websites for details and feel free to travel a ways from your home parish - it can be a good opportunity to take some time in silence and prayer. Here's a primer on how to receive this Sacrament if it's been a while.
2. In addition, check your area for Eucharistic Adoration, Stations of the Cross, services for Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday, and other Lenten programming.
3. Podcast: That Sounds Fun with Annie F. Downs, guest John Eldridge. This recent episode helped me gather in my thoughts about the last year and how to bring them to Jesus this week.
4. Podcast: That Sounds Fun with Annie F. Downs, guest Sally Lloyd-Jones. This episode pairs so well with the one before - unknowingly they both spend a good amount of time on psalm 23, the psalm we need this week.
5. Podcast: Abiding Together Lenten Study on This Present Paradise. This is part 5, but you'll want to go back and listen to them all.
6. Video: Making a Good Confession with Fr. Mike Schmitz
7. Book: The Return of the Prodigal Son, by Henri Nouwen
8. Song: Shadow Step, by Hillsong
9. Song: Even Unto Death, by Audrey Assad
10: Song: Run to the Father, by Matt Maher
11. Song: Untitled Hymn (Come to Jesus), by Chris Rice
12. Song: Met by Love, by Capital City Music
13. Song: Mercy, by Amanda Lindsey Cook
14. Song: O Happy Fault, by Audrey Assad
15. Read the Gospel account of the last days of Jesus. Prayerfully journal or sit in silence as you contemplate just how big His love is for you.
