PSALM 31:1-4, 15-16
MATTHEW 27:57-66
Almighty God,
When we remember Jesus at rest in his tomb
after the struggle of his life, please guide
us to be like Joseph of Arimathea who was
generous and gave Jesus a resting place when
he had had none in his life on earth. Help us
to bear silent witness to the tragedy of Jesus’
death as Mary Magdalene and the other Mary
did who sat watching the tomb. And help
us to discern the true good news of Jesus’s
life on earth and to discard any deceptions
that may obscure our understanding.
In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
