March 31 Holy Saturday 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. Nancy Farrell [53]
