Nothing is recorded in the gospels about the activities of Wednesday during Holy Week.
On Sunday Jesus rode into Jerusalem to the acclaim of the crowds.
Monday he created a stir in the temple by chasing away livestock and disrupting the money-changers.
On Tuesday he was challenged repeated by religious leaders.
Thursday he shared his last meal with his followers and washed their feet.
Friday he was put on trial before Pilate and died a humiliating death on the cross.
Wednesday -- silence. I wish I could be more reflective on this day, but the pressures of preparation are relentless. I know I will be ready, but it is always a push. There is an article in the latest Christian Century which may help in sorting through the events of this week

Not sure if this got through the first time and it is so earth shattering that I wouldn't want you to miss it....it is....
DON'T FORGET TO BREATHE!!!
In busy weeks, we all need a break. Maybe that's what today is. It's some quiet time after the joyous entrance into the city and in preparation for the difficult weekend ahead. For Jesus, for our Ministers and for all of us.
I would agree with the previous comments made, and with today being a miserable day weather wise, maybe it is meant to be a time for us to all be reflective and to pause and hear the quietness in our lives before the noise of the events a head.
