holy saturday (sabbatum sanctum)
All is silent as Jesus lies in the tomb. It is a day of stillness, silence, and a day full of questions and confusion.
Epistle: I Peter 3.17-22
Gospel: Matthew 27.57-66
Psalm: 22 and 29
Prayer: Lord, into the death of whose dear Son our Saviour Jesus Christ we have been baptized, grant that we may continually put to death our sinful desires and be buried with him so that we may pass through the gave and gate of death to our joyful resurrection through the merits of him who die, was buried, and rose again for us, your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
