Evening Prayer of gratitude
I give you thanks, O Babe of Bethlehem, for all you’ve done for me.

Each one still, different, and perfectly able to disappear.
We are these flakes, and humanity as snow,
But for a baby that was given us,
We too could’ve disappeared.

Holy Saturday verse
The earth keeps quiet.

Pay no heed to the silence
Yet listen well to the chains,
as they break on Easter day.

How good is Good Friday
It’s hard to put into words the feelings and thoughts I have around Good Friday. This is my 13th good Friday since becoming a Christian. So I guess this is Good Friday the 13th for me? At any rate, Good Friday is wrought with expectations about what you should feel, think about and do or at least what I would like to do.
I’d like my house to be silent from 12-3, have my family and I...
