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.

Indigenous cultures are storytelling cultures. So were the cultures of ancient Israel and its neighbors—the cultures Jesus lived among. First Nations Version (FNV) projects translate the Bible through the intertribal lens of Indigenous people in North America. The latest project, FNV Psalms and Proverbs, remains faithful to the Old Testament’s Hebrew poetry and wisdom literature while offering new ways to help readers place themselves in God’s story.
