Tuesday, March 27: Fasting “Though I thought I had toiled in vain, and for nothing, use-lessly spent my strength. Yet my reward is with the Lord, my recompense is with my God.” Isaiah 49:4 Fast from surrendering in the face of difficulties. Perse-vere in faith.
Spy Wednesday, March 28: Prayer “I gave my back to those who beat me; my cheeks to those who plucked my beard; my face I did not shield from buffets or spitting.” Isaiah 50:6 Pray for the person whom you trusted and who has be-trayed you.

Holy Saturday, March 31: Prayer “Come, let us return to the Lord. He has torn us to pieces, but He will heal us. He has struck us down, but He will bandage our wounds. After a day or two, He will bring us back to life; on the third day, He will raise us and we shall live in His pres-ence.” Hosea 6:1-3 Pray to Christ lying in the tomb, hidden from men — that He will teach us to love as He loved.
