En esta ocasión abordamos el significado de los salmos en el calendario litúrgico cristiano para Semana Santa. Los salmos asignados por el calendario tienen en común el tema de la muerte como peligro inminente. Y este, como en un crescendo, se intensifica a medida que vamos avanzando día tras día en la consideración de estos salmos. En todos ellos hay siempre una nota de esperanza e incluso de gratitud. Estos salmos nos ofrecen una nueva visión y comprensión de los eventos cruciales de la Semana Santa, de las oraciones y ruegos de Jesús durante esta significativa semana.

Studying, reciting, singing, and praying the Songs of Ascent from the book of Psalms helped Centerpoint Community Church make its worship and spiritual formation more intergenerational. It also gave people a shared language for bringing all their emotions to God. The church created a website to make all of its Songs of Ascent resources freely available.
