Welcome to Trinity Cathedral. We hope that our worship will provoke, unsettle, and strengthen your faith as we begin the annual walk through . We also hope that you will join us in the commemoration of Jesus’ last days on earth so that you may fully experience both the pain of our Lord’s passion and the power of his resurrection.

The name Tenebrae (the Latin word for “darkness” or “shadows”) has for centuries been applied to the ancient mo- nastic night and early morning services (Matins and Lauds) of the last three days of Holy Week, which in medieval times came to be celebrated on the preceding evenings. By drawing upon material from each of the former three offices of Tenebrae, this one-hour service provides an extended meditation upon, and a prelude to, the events in Jesus’ life between the and the Resurrection.

To commemorate this special evening, we gather as friends for a ritualized potluck meal (please bring something to share – bread and wine are provided).

3 Wednesday in Holy Week April 16, 2014 6:00pm Tenebrae

The name Tenebrae (the Latin word for “darkness” or “shadows”) has for centuries been applied to the ancient monastic night and early morning services (Matins and Lauds) of the last three days of Holy Week, which in medieval times came to be celebrated on the preceding evenings. Apart from the reading or chanting of the Lamentations (in which each verse is introduced by a letter of the Hebrew alphabet), the most conspicuous feature of the service is the gradual extin- guishing of candles and other lights in the church until only a single candle, considered a symbol of our Lord, remains. Toward the end of the service this candle is hidden, typifying the apparent victory of the forces of evil. At the very end, the organ plays, symbolizing the earthquake at the time of the resurrection (Matthew 28:2), the hidden candle is restored to its place, and by its light all depart in silence. In the book of Occasional Services, provision is made for Tenebrae on Wednesday evening only, in order that the proper of Thursday and Good Friday may find their place as the principal services of those days. By drawing upon material from each of the former three offices of Tenebrae, this service provides an extended meditation upon, and a prelude to, the events in our Lord’s life between the Last Supper and the Resurrection. Tonight’s service uses only the first of the three Nocturns of Lauds. The ministers enter the church in silence and proceed to their places.

Fi r s t No c t u r n o f Ma t i n s f o r Ma u n d y Th u r s d a y Officiant Zeal for your house has eaten me up; People The scorn of those who scorn you has fallen upon me.

Ps a l m 69: 1-23 Said by everyone quietly (seated) Save me, O God, * for the waters have risen up to my neck. I am sinking in deep mire, * and there is no firm ground for my feet. I have come into deep waters, * and the torrent washes over me. I have grown weary with my crying; my throat is inflamed; *my eyes have failed from looking for my God. Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; my lying foes who would destroy me are mighty.* Must I then give back what I never ? O God, you know my foolishness, * and my faults are not hidden from you. Let not those who hope in you be put to shame through me, O God of hosts; * let not those who seek you be disgraced because of me, O God of Israel. Surely, for your sake have I suffered reproach, * and shame has covered my face. I have become a stranger to my own kindred, * an alien to my mother’s children. Zeal for your house has eaten me up; * the scorn of those who scorn you has fallen upon me. I humbled myself with , * but that was turned to my reproach. I put on sack-cloth also, * and became a byword among them. Those who sit at the gate murmur against me, * and the drunkards make songs about me. But as for me, this is my prayer to you, * at the time you have set, O God: “In your great mercy, O God, * answer me with your unfailing help. Save me from the mire; do not let me sink; * let me be rescued from those who hate me and out of the deep waters. Let not the torrent of waters wash over me, neither let the deep swallow me up; * do not let the Pit shut its mouth upon me. Answer me, O God, for your love is kind; * in your great compassion, turn to me.’ “Hide not your face from your servant; * be swift and answer me, for I am in distress. Draw near to me and redeem me; * because of my enemies deliver me. You know my reproach, my shame, and my dishonor; * my adversaries are all in your sight.” 4 Reproach has broken my heart, and it cannot be healed; * I looked for sympathy, but there was none, for comforters, but I could find no one. They gave me gall to eat, * and when I was thirsty, they gave me vinegar to drink.

Officiant Deliver me, my God, from the hand of the wicked: People From the clutches of the evildoer and the oppressor.

All stand for silent prayer. The appointed then goes to the lectern, and everyone else is seated.

Le s s o n I: Lamentations of Jeremiah the Prophet 1:1-14

Aleph. How solitary lies the city, once so full of people! How like a widow has she become, she that was great among the nations! She that was queen among the cities has now become a vassal.

Beth. She weeps bitterly in the night, tears run down her cheeks; among all her lovers she has none to comfort her; all become her enemies.

Gimel. Judah has gone into the misery of exile and of hard servitude; she dwells now among the nations, but finds no resting place; all her pursuers overtook her in the midst of her anguish.

Daleth. The roads to Zion mourn, because none come to the solemn feasts; all her gates are desolate, her groan and sigh; her virgins are afflicted, and she is in bitterness.

He. Her adversaries have become her masters, her enemies prosper; because God has punished her for the multitude of her rebellions; her children are gone, driven away as captives by the enemy.

Jerusalem, Jerusalem, return to God your God!

Re s p o n s o r y : Timor et tremor (Choir) Francis Poulenc Fear and trembling came over me, and darkness fell over me: have mercy on me, O Lord, have mercy on me, for my soul trusts in you.

Hear, O God, my prayer, for you are my refuge and my strong helper. Lord, I have called upon you, I shall not be confounded.

Le s s o n II Waw. And from Daughter Zion all her majesty has departed; her princes have become like stags that can find no pasture, and that run without strength before the hunter.

Zayin. Jerusalem remembers in the days of her affliction and bitterness all the precious things that were hers from the days of old; when her people fell into the hand of the foe, and there was none to help her; the adversary saw her, and mocked at her downfall.

Heth. Jerusalem has sinned greatly, therefore she has become a thing unclean; all who honored her despise her, for they have seen her nakedness; and now she sighs, and turns her face away.

Teth. Uncleanness clung to her skirts, she took no thought of her doom; therefore her fall is terrible, she has no comforter. “O God, behold my affliction, for the enemy has triumphed.”

Jerusalem, Jerusalem, return to God your God! 5 Re s p o n s o r y : Vinea mea electa (Choir) Francis Poulenc O vineyard, my chosen one! I planted you: how are you changed from sweet to bitter, to have crucified me and released Barrabas? I protected you; I have removed stones that could bother you and built a tower for your defense.

Le s s o n III Yodh. The adversary has stretched out his hand to seize all her precious things; she has seen the Gentiles invade her sanc- tuary, those whom you had forbidden to enter your congregation.

Kaph. All her people groan as they search for bread; they sell their own children for food to revive their strength. “Behold, O God, and consider, for I am now beneath contempt!”

Lamedh. Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? Behold and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow, which was brought upon me, which God inflicted, on the day of his burning anger.

Mem. From on high he sent fire, into my bones it descended; he spread a net for my feet, and turned me back; he has left me desolate and faint all the day long.

Nun. My transgressions were bound into a yoke; by his hand they were fastened together; their yoke is upon my neck; he has caused my strength to fail. God has delivered me into their hands, against whom I am not able to stand up.

Jerusalem, Jerusalem, return to God your God!

Re s p o n s o r y : Tenebræ factæ sunt (Choir) Francis Poulenc

Darkness came over the earth when Jesus was crucified: and around the ninth hour, Jesus exclaimed in a loud voice: “My God, why hast Thou forsaken me? And inclining his head, he gave up his spirit. Jesus exclaiming in a loud voice, said: “Father, into Thy hands I commend my spirit.”

La u d s

Presider He was led like a lamb to the slaughter, People and he opened not his mouth.

Ps a l m 90: 1-12 Said by everyone, alternating sides by verse, beginning with the officiant. God, you have been our refuge * from one generation to another. Before the mountains were brought forth, or the land and the earth were born, * from age to age you are God. You turn us back to the dust and say, * “Go back, O child of earth.” For a thousand years in your sight are like yesterday when it is past * and like a watch in the night. You sweep us away like a dream; * we fade away suddenly like the grass. In the morning it is green and flourishes; * in the evening it is dried up and withered. For we consume away in your displeasure; * we are afraid because of your wrathful indignation. Our iniquities you have set before you, * and our secret sins in the light of your countenance. When you are angry, all our days are gone; * we bring our years to an end like a sigh. The span of our life is seventy years, perhaps in strength even eighty; * yet the sum of them is but labor and sorrow, for they pass away quickly and we are gone. 6 Who regards the power of your wrath? * who rightly fears your indignation? So teach us to number our days * that we may apply our hearts to wisdom. Le s s o n : The Song of Hezekiah, Isaiah 38:10-20 In my despair I said, “In the noonday of my life I must depart; my unspent years are summoned to the portals of death.” And I said, “No more shall I see my God in the land of the living, never more look on my kind among dwellers on earth. My house is pulled down and I am uncovered, as when a shepherd strikes his tent. My life is rolled up like a bolt of cloth, the threads cut off from the loom. Between sunrise and sunset my life is brought to an end; I cower and hope for the dawn. Like a lion he has crushed all my bones; like a swallow or thrush I utter plaintive cries; I mourn like a dove. My weary eyes look up to you; God, be my refuge in my affliction.” But what can I say? for he has spoken; it is he who has done this. Slow and halting are my steps all my days, because of the bitterness of my spirit. O God, I recounted all these things to you and you rescued me; when entreated, you restored my life. I know now that my bitterness was for my good, for you held me back from the pit of destruction, you cast all my sins behind you. The grave does not thank you nor death give you praise; nor do those at the brink of the grave hang on your promises. It is the living, O God, the living who give you thanks as I do this day; You, God, are my Savior; I will praise you with stringed instruments all the days of my life, in the house of my God.

Officiant O Death, I will be your death; People O Grave, I will be your destruction.

Re s p o n s o r y : Tristis est anima mea (Choir) Francis Poulenc

Sad is my soul unto death: stay here, and keep watch with me: soon you will see a crowd surround me. You shall flee, and I will go to be sacrificed for you. Here is the approaching hour when the Son of man will be delivered into the hands of sinful ones.

Officiant My flesh also shall rest in hope; People You will not let your holy One see corruption.

A brief silence is observed while the last candle is hid. Ps a l m 51:1-18 (sung by the choir) Gregorio Allegri

Have mercy on me, O God, according to your loving-kindness; * in your great compassion blot out my offenses. Wash me through and through from my wickedness * and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my transgressions, * and my sin is ever before me. Against you only have I sinned * and done what is evil in your sight. And so you are justified when you speak * and upright in your judgment. Indeed, I have been wicked from my birth, * a sinner from my mother’s womb. For behold, you look for truth deep within me, * and will make me understand wisdom secretly. Purge me from my sin, and I shall be pure; * wash me, and I shall be clean indeed. Make me hear of joy and gladness, * that the body you have broken may rejoice. Hide your face from my sins * and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God, * and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from your presence * and take not your holy Spirit from me. Give me the joy of your saving help again * and sustain me with your bountiful Spirit. 7 I shall teach your ways to the wicked * and sinners shall return to you. Deliver me from death O God, * and my tongue shall sing of your righteousness O God of my salvation. Open my lips, O Lord, * and my mouth shall proclaim your praise. Had you desired it, I would have offered sacrifice, * but you take no delight in burnt offerings. The sacrifice of God is a troubled spirit; * a broken and contrite heart O God, you will not despise.

Officiant Almighty God, we pray you graciously to behold this your family, for whom our Lord Jesus Christ was willing to be betrayed, abandoned, denied, and to suffer death upon the cross.

Nothing further is said and the remaining candle is brought from its hiding place and replaced on the stand.

After silence, by the single candle’s light, the ministers and people depart in silence.

The Presider lights the candles and says:

In praising God we say that all life is sacred. In kindling festive lights, we preserve life’s sanctity. With every holy light we kindle, the world is brightened to a higher harmony. We praise You, God, majestic sovereign of all life, who hallows our lives with commandments and bids us kindle festive holy light.

All drink from their cups of wine, and set them down. Everyone is then seated.

Bl e s s i n g o f th e Br e a d

The Presider takes a piece of matzoh in hand and says: We praise You, O God, Ruler of the universe, who brings forth bread from the earth.

Everyone then eats a small piece of matzoh.

Th e Pa s s o v e r St o r y The Presider lifts up the matzoh for all to see and says:

This is the bread of affliction that the people of Israel ate in the land of Egypt. Let all who are hungry come and eat. Let all who are in want come and celebrate with us. This year we are here; the time will come when we shall be in the new land of promise that you, O God, will reveal to us; just as the people of Israel yesterday were slaves, and today are free.

The Presider sets down the matzoh.

Reader #1 Why is this night different from all other nights? Presider Listen to what the Hebrew Scriptures say.

The story of the Exodus is remembered, Exodus 12:1-4, 25-27

At the conclusion of the Passover story, all stand and take their cups of wine in their hands and say:

People We should therefore sing praises and give thanks and pour out infinite adoration to God who performed all these wonders for the people of Israel.

12 Reader #10 Since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses... let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the pioneer and perfector of our faith. Leader Therefore, lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees... Strive for peace with all people... Act justly, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God, loving your neighbor as yourself. Presider Let us now stand and honor these great ancestors of faith. In the tradition of Spanish-speaking peoples striving for liberation we recognize the presence and influence of these witnesses with a joyous shout of “Presente!”

Everyone PRESENTE!

Th e Ag ap é Me a l

Presider Potlucks are a tradition in the church going back to the congregation of Christians at Corinth. Some food we share may have significance because it expresses our quest for liberation.

Reader #11 Why do we here at Trinity Cathedral celebrate this feast of liberation?

Presider Because we need to be reminded of God’s abundance in a world caught in scarcity.

Th e Do x o l o g y

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow. Praise God, all creatures here below. Praise God, ye hosts in heaven above, Praise God, the Trinity of Love.

Presider In the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke, Jesus asked his friends to remember him by blessing and sharing bread and wine as his body and blood. Hear what St. Mark says.

The story of the Lord’s Supper is remembered.

Presider Remembering now Christ’s work of redemption, and offering to you this sacrifice of thanksgiving,

People We celebrate his death and resurrection, as we await the day of Christ’s coming.

Presider God of our holy and righteous ancestors; redeemer and mother of Israel, God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Open our eyes to see your hand at work in the world about us. Deliver us from the presumption of coming to this Table for solace only, and not for strength; for pardon only, and not for renewal. Let the grace of this Holy Communion make us one body, one spirit in Christ, that we may worthily serve the world in Christ’s name.

People Risen Lord, be known to us in the breaking of the Bread.

Presider The gifts of God for the people of God.

13 The communion is shared and hymns are sung:

Let us break bread together Spiritual Let us break bread together on our knees; Let us break bread together on our knees; When I fall on my knees, with my face to the rising sun, Oh Lord, have mercy on me.

Let us drink wine together on our knees; Let us drink wine together on our knees; When I fall on my knees, with my face to the rising sun, Oh Lord, have mercy on me.

Let us praise God together on our knees; Let us praise God together on our knees; When I fall on my knees, with my face to the rising sun, Oh Lord, have mercy on me. Jesus, remember me Jacques Berthier, Taizé

Presider After the meal, Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane.

The congregation follows the cross in procession into the Cathedral Nave.

Presider According to the Gospel of John, Jesus expressed the liberating power of God’s love in washing the feet of his friends. Hear what St. John says.

The story of the foot washing is remembered, John 13: 4-5, 12-14

Presider Peace is my last gift to you, my own peace I now leave with you; peace which the world cannot give, I give to you.

People I give you a new commandment: Love one another as I have loved you.

Presider By this shall the world know that you are my disciples: That you have love for one another.

Presider Tonight, let us wash each other’s feet in the name of the one who washed the feet of his friends. May we have the courage to go forth from this place tonight prepared to wash the hands and feet of both stranger and friend.

Those who wish to participate in the foot washing may come forward.

The Presider kneels and prays Psalm 139 while the congregation meditates in silence.

O Lord, you have searched me and known me. You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from far away. You search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, O Lord, you know it completely. You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is so high that I cannot attain it.

Where can I go from your spirit? Or where can I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there. 15 If I take the wings of the morning and settle at the farthest limits of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me fast. If I say, ‘Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light around me become night’, even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is as bright as the day, for darkness is as light to you. For it was you who formed my inward parts; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; that I know very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes beheld my unformed substance. In your book were written all the days that were formed for me, when none of them as yet existed. How weighty to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! I try to count them—they are more than the sand; I come to the end—I am still with you.

O that you would kill the wicked, O God, and that the bloodthirsty would depart from me— those who speak of you maliciously, and lift themselves up against you for evil! Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord? And do I not loathe those who rise up against you? I hate them with perfect hatred; I count them my enemies. Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my thoughts. See if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Darkness envelops the Cathedral.

Worshippers are encouraged to remain in silence for prayer in the Nave as the all-night Vigil begins in the Chapel and continues until the Good Friday solemn liturgy at Noon.

A Re a d i n g f r o m Sc r i pt u r e : Isaiah 52:13­—53:12 ee, my servant shall prosper; he shall be exalted and lifted up, and shall be very high. Just as there were many who were astonished at him -- so marred was his appearance, beyond human semblance, and his form beyond that of Smortals -- so he shall startle many nations; kings shall shut their mouths because of him; for that which had not been told them they shall see, and that which they had not heard they shall contemplate. Who has believed what we have heard? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by others; a man of suffering and acquainted with infirmity; and as one from whom others hide their faces he was despised, and we held him of no account. Surely he has borne our infirmities and carried our diseases; yet we accounted him stricken, struck down by God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the punishment that made us whole, and by his bruises we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have all turned to our own way, and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth. By a perversion of justice he was taken away. Who could have imagined his future? For he was cut off from the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people. They made his grave with the wicked and his tomb with the rich, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth. Yet it was the will of the LORD to crush him with pain. When you make his life an of- fering for sin, he shall see his offspring, and shall prolong his days; through him the will of the LORD shall prosper. Out of his anguish he shall see light; he shall find satisfaction through his knowledge. The righteous one, my servant, shall make many righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore I will allot him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out himself to death, and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? *and are so far from my cry and from the words of my distress? O my God, I cry in the daytime, but you do not answer; * by night as well, but I find no rest. Yet you are the Holy One, * enthroned upon the praises of Israel. Our ancestors put their trust in you; * they trusted, and you delivered them. They cried out to you and were delivered; * they trusted in you and were not put to shame. But as for me, I am a worm and no human, * scorned by all and despised by the people. All who see me laugh me to scorn; * they curl their lips and wag their heads, saying, “He trusted in God; let God deliver him; * let God rescue him, if God delights in him.” Yet you are the One who took me out of the womb, * and kept me safe upon my mother’s breast. I have been entrusted to you ever since I was born; * you were my God when I was still in my mother’s womb. Be not far from me, for trouble is near, * and there is none to help. I am poured out like water; all my bones are out of joint; * my heart within my breast is melting wax. My mouth is dried out like a pot-sherd; my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth; * and you have laid me in the dust of the grave. Packs of dogs close me in, and gangs of evildoers circle around me; * they pierce my hands and my feet; I can count all my bones. They stare and gloat over me; * they divide my garments among them; they cast lots for my clothing. Be not far away, O God; * you are my strength; hasten to help me. Save me from the lion’s mouth, * my wretched body from the horns of wild bulls. I will declare your Name to my brothers & sisters; * In the midst of the congregation I will praise you. For you do not despise nor abhor the poor in their poverty; * neither do you hide your face from them; but when they cry to you, you hear them. All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to God, * and all the families of the nations shall bow before you.

Th e Pa s s i o n o f o u r Lo r d Je s u s Chr i s t a c c o r d i n g t o Ma tth e w hen morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people conferred together against Jesus in order to bring about his death. They bound him, led him away, and handed him over to Pilate the governor. When WJudas, his betrayer, saw that Jesus was condemned, he repented and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders. He said, ‘I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.’ But they said, ‘What is that to us? See to it yourself.’ Throwing down the pieces of silver in the temple, he departed; and he went and hanged himself. But the chief priests, taking the pieces of silver, said, ‘It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since they are blood money.’ After conferring together, they used them to buy the potter’s field as a place to bury foreigners. For this reason that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day. Then was fulfilled what had been spoken through the prophet Jeremiah, ‘And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of the one on whom a price had been set, on whom some of the people of Israel had set a price, and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.’ Now Jesus stood before the governor; and the governor asked him, ‘Are you the King of the Jews?’ Jesus said, ‘You say so.’ But when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he did not answer. Then Pilate said to him, ‘Do you not hear how many accusations they make against you?’ But he gave him no answer, not even to a single charge, so that the governor was greatly amazed. Now at the the governor was accustomed to release a prisoner for the crowd, anyone whom they wanted. At that time they had a notorious prisoner, called Jesus Barabbas. So after they had gathered, Pilate said to them, ‘Whom do you want me to release for you, Jesus Barabbas or Jesus who is called the Messiah?’ For he realized that it was out of jealousy that they had handed him over. While he was sitting on the judgement seat, his wife sent word to him, ‘Have nothing to do with that innocent man, for today I have suffered a great deal because of a dream about him.’ Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus killed. The governor again said to them, ‘Which of the two do you want me to release for you?’ And they said, ‘Barabbas.’ Pilate said to them, ‘Then what should I do with Jesus who is called the Messiah?’ All of them said, ‘Let him be crucified!’ Then he asked, ‘Why, what evil has he done?’ But they shouted all the more, ‘Let him be crucified!’ So he released Barabbas for them; and after flogging Jesus, he handed him over to be crucified. Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the governor’s headquarters, and they gathered the whole cohort around him. They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, and after twisting some thorns into a crown, they put it on his head. They put a reed in his right hand and knelt before him and mocked him, saying, ‘Hail, King of the Jews!’ They 18 spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head. After mocking him, they stripped him of the robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him away to crucify him. As they went out, they came upon a man from Cyrene named Simon; they compelled this man to carry his cross. And when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull), they offered him wine to drink, mixed with gall; but when he tasted it, he would not drink it. And when they had crucified him, they divided his clothes among themselves by casting lots; then they sat down there and kept watch over him. Over his head they put the charge against him, which read, ‘This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.’ Then two bandits were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left. Those who passed by derided him, shaking their heads and saying, ‘You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross.’ In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes and elders, were mocking him, saying, ‘He saved others; he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel; let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him. He trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he wants to; for he said, “I am God’s Son.” ’ The bandits who were crucified with him also taunted him in the same way. From noon on, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. And about three o’clock Jesus cried with a loud voice, ‘Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?’ that is, ‘My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?’ When some of the bystanders heard it, they said, ‘This man is calling for Elijah.’ At once one of them ran and got a sponge, filled it with sour wine, put it on a stick, and gave it to him to drink. But the others said, ‘Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to save him.’ Then Jesus cried again with a loud voice and breathed his last. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. The earth shook, and the rocks were split. The tombs also were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised. After his resurrection they came out of the tombs and entered the holy city and appeared to many. Now when the centurion and those with him, who were keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were terrified and said, ‘Truly this man was God’s Son!’ Many women were also there, looking on from a distance; they had followed Jesus from Galilee and had provided for him. Among them were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee. When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who was also a disciple of Jesus. He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus; then Pilate ordered it to be given to him. So Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn in the rock. He then rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb and went away. Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the tomb.’

“At present... I am going to Jerusalem with aid for the saints.” - Romans 15: 25

Every year on Good Friday, pilgrims from all over the world gather along the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem. Some carry a cross, to understand better the nature of the burden that Jesus bore. Others accompany them, as witnesses, as penitents, as believers. By dying on the cross at Calvary, Jesus delivered us from sin and despair.

For 150 years, the Episcopal Church in Jerusalem and the Middle East has borne, in a special way, the responsibil- ity of sharing the cross of Jesus. By helping to maintain the Christian witness in the Holy Land, by serving all of God’s people there in a variety of ministries throughout four dioceses, by proclaiming the gospel and promoting justice, peace and love, the church serves us all.

Since 1922, Episcopalians here have supported the ministries of the Episcopal Church in Jerusalem and the Middle East through the Good Friday Offering. It is vital that we continue to share this burden, and not let our brothers and sisters in Jerusalem carry this cross alone.
