Come to Stillness: Take a few minutes to allow your mind and heart to
be still before God.
Opening Prayer: By your cross, O Lord, you show the
extravagance of your love for us. Love
than knows no limits, no boundaries.
Love that pours down upon us from every wound of your beloved Son. More love than we could ever ask for or
imagine. When we are tempted to doubt
the depths of your heart for us, let our eyes immediately look to Jesus
crucified—and may all doubt be taken away.
In His name. Amen.
Scripture Reading for the Day: Matthew 27:57-66
Reading for Reflection:
The cross, the primary
symbol of our faith, invites us to see grace where there is pain; to see
resurrection where there is death. The
call to be grateful is a call to trust that every moment can be claimed as the
way of the cross that leads to new life. (Turn My Mourning into Dancing
by Henri Nouwen)

Prayer: for the church, for others, for myself
Closing Prayer: Grant, Lord, that we who are baptized into the death of your Son our Saviour Jesus Christ may continually put to death our evil desires and be buried with him; and that through the grave and gate of death we may pass to our joyful resurrection; through his merits, who died and was buried and rose again for us, your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. (A Collect for Easter Eve, Oremus)
