Maundy Thursday - In the garden
They came for him in the garden and they took hime away...
Darkness had fallen... and they took him away.
Good Friday - Stations of the Cross
Via Dolorosa
On the path of sorrow
betrayed and denied
accused and condemned
mocked and beaten
refusing to retaliate
in the cry of forsakenness
into the darkness
to the very end.
Jesus
Holy Saturday - In the tomb
In the tomb
the silence
the darkness
the place of the dead,
we wait...
In the aching in-between
we wait...
On the long day's journey of the Saturday
we wait...
Easter Day - Out from the tomb
Out from silent nothingness
out from the depths of certainty
into a cold and grieving world
into fear and loss of meaning
to break open hopelessness
to bring news of newness
to draw all things into life
Christ
'This blessing is where the story begins.'
