Then, in contrast, we hear the story of Jesus' “Some people feel guilty about their anxieties and regard them as a condemnation and death, and our worship closes in defect of faith. I don’t agree at all. They are afflictions, not sins. Like all contemplation of his crucifixion. afflictions, they are, if we can so take them, our share in the Passion Bold text is read or sung of Christ.” –C.S.

Hosanna in the Highest. PROCLAMATION OF THE ENTRANCE INTO JERUSALEM MATTHEW 21:1–11 When they had come near Jerusalem and had reached Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her; untie them and bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, just say this, ‘The Lord needs them.’ And he will send them immediately.” This took place to fulfill what had been spoken through the prophet, saying, “Tell the daughter of Zion, Look, your king is coming to you, humble, and mounted on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.” The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them; they brought the donkey and the colt, and put their cloaks on them, and he sat on them. A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. The crowds that went ahead of him and that followed were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heaven!” When he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was in turmoil, asking, “Who is this?” The crowds were saying, “This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth in Galilee.” SUNG ACCLAMATION B.

APPLE Living God, we enter Holy Week with palm branches and shouts of Hosanna. In the back of our minds we know the rest of the story of your journey to Jerusalem, but we would rather not see what is to come. In this place and time, turn our hearts again to the truth of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Guide us on this painful journey to the cross that we might bear witness to the passion of Christ. Guide us that we may one day triumphantly enter the city made not by human hands—the new Jerusalem, your kingdom on earth where, with you and the Holy Spirit, Christ lives in glory forever. Amen.

PRAYER FOR ILLUMINATION THE REVEREND MARGARET BURNETT This 19th century Palm Sunday hymn text is better understood HOMILY GO, BUT NOT IN PEACE MS. BURNETT as the reflections of someone standing outside the event rather than as coming from those participating in the actual procession. This poignant text is set to a tune written especially for it later in the same century. The sermon is a reflection on the day’s scriptures, suggesting implications for our faith and life. “THE SEVEN WORDS OF CHRIST ON THE CROSS” HEINRICH SCHÜTZ (1585 – 1672) INTROIT Choir: Since Jesus on the cross was hung, By anguish sore his body wrung, In pain and bitter torment, Then ponder well within thy heart His seven blessed sayings. SYMPHONY THE FIRST WORD Evangelist: And it was close upon the third hour when they crucified the Lord, and Jesus said: Jesus: Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do. THE SECOND WORD Evangelist: There stood by the cross of Jesus, Mary, his mother, Mary, his mother’s sister, the wife of Cleophas, and Maria Magdalena. When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and beside her the disciple John, whom he loved, said he to his mother: Jesus: Woman, behold now thy son. Evangelist: And then said he to the disciple: Jesus: Beloved, this is thy mother. Evangelist: From that moment John took to him the mother. THE THIRD WORD Evangelist: Straightway one of the evil-doers which had been hanged railed on him and said: Thief: If thou art Christ, then help thyself and us. Evangelist: And then answered the other, chiding him, and said: Thief: O thou, hast thou then no fear of God, seeing thou dost share the same punishment? Indeed, we are justly condemned, for we deserve punishment for deeds which we have done; but remember not a thing amiss hath this man done. Evangelist: And unto Jesus he said: Thief: Lord, remember me when thou comest to thy kingdom. Evangelist: And Jesus said: Jesus: Truly, I say to thee, today shalt thou be with me in paradise. THE FOURTH WORD Evangelist: And at about the ninth hour he cried aloud and said: Jesus: Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? Evangelist: Which is interpreted: Jesus: My God, My God, wherefore hast thou me forsaken? THE FIFTH WORD Evangelist: And after this, when Jesus knew that all things were done, that the Word might be fulfilled, said he: Jesus: I am thirsty. Evangelist: Now one among the soldiers present ran in haste, filled a sponge with vinegar and hyssop and brought it and put it on a reed and held it to his lips and gave him to drink. THE SIXTH WORD Evangelist: Now when Jesus had received the vinegar, he said: Jesus: It is fulfilled. THE SEVENTH WORD Evangelist: And once again he cried aloud and said: Jesus: Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit. Evangelist: And after he had thus spoken, he inclined his head and gave up his spirit. SYMPHONY CONCLUSION He who holds the Savior’s atonement dear And oft recalls the Seven Words, He will receive God’s own blessing Both here on earth, by God’s good grace And there in the life everlasting.

  • Good Friday Prayer a Reading from the Gospel of John: the Arrest
    Good Friday Prayer Following from Holy Thursday We reflect today on the Suffering and Death of Jesus– A simple Outline for Good Friday Passion Liturgy 3:00 p.m. Opening Prayer: Remember, Lord, your tender mercies, which you showed in ages past; watch over and Bless your servants, for whom Christ your Son, by shedding his blood, has established the paschal mystery. Grant this in the name of Jesus, the Lord. Word of God Take your time Read the different parts bit by bit. A Reading from the Gospel of John: The Arrest of Jesus 18 After Jesus had said this prayer, he left with his disciples and went across Kidron Brook. There was a garden in that place, and Jesus and his disciples went in. 2 Judas, the traitor, knew where it was, because many times Jesus had met there with his disciples. 3 So Judas went to the garden, taking with him a group of Roman soldiers, and some Temple guards sent by the chief priests and the Pharisees; they were armed and carried lanterns and torches. 4 Jesus knew everything that was going to happen to him, so he stepped forward and asked them, “Who is it you are looking for?” 5 “Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered. “I am he,” he said. Judas, the traitor, was standing there with them. 6 When Jesus said to them, “I am he,” they moved back and fell to the ground. 7 Again Jesus asked them, “Who is it you are looking for?” “Jesus of Nazareth,” they said. 8 “I have already told you that I am he,” Jesus said.

  • The Rites of Holy Week
    THE RITES OF HOLY WEEK • CEREMONIES • PREPARATIONS • MUSIC • COMMENTARY By FREDERICK R. McMANUS Priest of the Archdiocese of Boston 1956 SAINT ANTHONY GUILD PRESS PATERSON, NEW JERSEY Copyright, 1956, by Frederick R. McManus Nihil obstat ALFRED R. JULIEN, J.C. D. Censor Lib1·or111n Imprimatur t RICHARD J. CUSHING A1·chbishop of Boston Boston, February 16, 1956 PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA INTRODUCTION ANCTITY is the purpose of the "new Holy Week." The news S accounts have been concerned with the radical changes, the upset of traditional practices, and the technical details of the re­ stored Holy Week services, but the real issue in the reform is the development of true holiness in the members of Christ's Church. This is the expectation of Pope Pius XII, as expressed personally by him. It is insisted upon repeatedly in the official language of the new laws - the goal is simple: that the faithful may take part in the most sacred week of the year "more easily, more devoutly, and more fruitfully." Certainly the changes now commanded ,by the Apostolic See are extraordinary, particularly since they come after nearly four centuries of little liturgical development. This is especially true of the different times set for the principal services. On Holy Thursday the solemn evening Mass now becomes a clearer and more evident memorial of the Last Supper of the Lord on the night before He suffered. On Good Friday, when Holy Mass is not offered, the liturgical service is placed at three o'clock in the afternoon, or later, since three o'clock is the "ninth hour" of the Gospel accounts of our Lord's Crucifixion.

  • Carrying the Cross a Good Friday Prayer Walk Monroe Community
    Carrying the Cross A Good Friday Prayer Walk Monroe Community Church Welcome As we look forward to Easter, we are grateful you have joined us for the special act of prayer and blessing for our neighbors at MCC. A Prayer Walk involves taking our prayers to the places and people we desire to see God bless. It is another way we can Love the City. How does it work? What does it involve? Let us explain. Overview A Prayer Walk is just that, it is walking through our neighborhood and along the way talking time to pray for the residents, business, and people who call Monroe North home. • Gather in groups or two or three or as a family. • Select one of the walking routes listed on the following pages. • As you walk take time to pause, read from the provided scripture passages, and pray for who and what you see around you (business, residence, people in the park or on the bus). • Be on the scene without making a scene. • Be open to how the Holy Spirit may prompt you. • Enjoy yourselves! We envision this as an opportunity for us as a church community to pray for those share this neighborhood with, to pray for marriages, families, businesses, government, leaders, children, civic leaders, senior adults, churches, revival and spiritual awakening, God’s word to spread, people to accept Jesus as Savior, for whatever the Spirit prompts you to pray. We have scheduled 30 minutes for each Prayer Walk Session. We have also thought about how children (and those with a childlike spirit) could participate.

  • Good Friday Prayer for Families 2021
    Good Friday Prayer for Families 2021 Acknowledgement of Land The Catholic Diocese of Cairns extends from our Islands in the Far North to rich farmland in the south and from the sandy coastlines in the East, to the rural and mining communities in our West and North West. Our schools, colleges and homes have been established and developed on the ancient lands of our First Nation peoples. We pay our respects to the traditional owners, our first nation brothers and sisters, who have been sharing stories, listening deeply and being open to the great wisdom of their ancestors on these lands for many thousands of years. In the spirit of reconciliation may we walk gently on all country; land, waterways, and seas as we journey through this Easter Season. Context of Good Friday Good Friday begins a time referred to in the Catholic tradition as the Easter Triduum. This is three days, beginning at sunset on Holy Thursday and continues to dusk on Easter Sunday. Each day recounts the events of the Last Supper, Good Friday and the Resurrection of Jesus. The Easter Triduum honours the story that fuels the central energy of our Catholic faith. Figure 1 Crucifixion. Encyclopædia Britannica ImageQuest . Godong Scripture The Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ according to John (John 18:1 – 19:42) After Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples across the Kidron valley to a place where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered. Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, because Jesus often met there with his disciples.

  • Good Friday Prayer and Meditation on the Story of Jesus' Death
    Good Friday Prayer and Meditation on the Story of Jesus’ Death April 2, 7:00 p.m. on Zoom Image by John Stuart, stushieart.com The worship of the three days of Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday are often considered one continuous service, as we move from the last supper and betrayal to the Resurrection. On Thursday – called Maundy Thursday after the command (mandatum in Latin) to love one another – we read of the servant love of Jesus at the last supper. On Good Friday – called good because by his death Jesus defeated sin, death and evil - we hear the story of his betrayal, condemnation and crucifixion. On Saturday we pause in the still moment between death and life. An Easter Vigil may welcome the celebration of the resurrection; we will share an Easter Vigil prepared by Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary. Greeting and Prayer of the Day On this day we gather to remember Jesus our Savior who loved us and gave himself for us. Let us draw near in full assurance of God’s endless love and mercy. We give our thanks and praise to Jesus Christ who carries our sorrows, heals our wounds, and redeems us from sin and death. ~ written by Marlene Kropf, in Jesus Keep Me Near the Cross: Good Friday Service. Posted on Mennonite Church Canada Resource Centre website. Let us pray: Redeeming Creator, Dust and rocks groan. Deserts and prairies weep. Bushes and trees moan. Rivers and oceans roar. Animals of land, sea, and sky recoil. Sun cowers and moon wanes. Humanity fails.

  • GOOD FRIDAY PRAYER VIGIL April 2, 2021
    GOOD FRIDAY PRAYER VIGIL April 2, 2021 Following the lead of the Gospels themselves, this vigil provides a crucial link between the revelation of God in Christ and the creation of the church with God’s past revelation of Himself and the creation of His people Israel. This important emphasis on the continuity of the church with the Old Testament’s witness to God also helps define the nature of the church and its mission in the world, thoroughly grounding it in the ongoing work of God in history. The vigil is meant to keep company with Christ during the long hours from the Tenebrae service on Good Friday until we celebrate together Christ’s resurrection. You may spend your time in quiet reflection, prayer, reading from devotional and prayer books, reading the Bible, following this prayer guide or even just resting. Take time to listen to God. INVOCATION In the Name of the Father, and of the T Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen Matthew 28:19 Beloved in the Lord! Let us draw near with a true heart and confess our sins unto God, our Father, beseeching Him in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to grant us forgiveness. Amen Hebrews 10:22 Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth. Psalm 124:8 I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord, and You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Psalm 32:5 THE CONFESSION OF SIN 2 O almighty God, merciful Father, I confess that I have sinned against You this day.
