GOOD FRIDAY

For me, kind Jesus, was thy incarnation, thy mortal sorrow, and thy life's oblation; Thy death of anguish and thy bitter passion, for my salvation. Therefore, kind Jesus, since I cannot pay thee, I do adore thee, and will ever pray thee, think on thy pity and thy love unswerving, not my deserving J Heerman

Christ of the scars, into your hands we place the broken, the wounded, the hungry and the homeless;Christ of the scars, into your hands we place those who have been bereaved or betrayed; those who have suffered the loss of health, esteem, family, friends employment or home;Christ of the scars, into your hands we place unwanted babies, children abused, neighbours defamed, lovers spurned, souses deserted.Christ of the scars, into your hands we place those who are victims of violence or vandalism, false accusation or sharp practice.As you hang on the cross, be with us Lord as we watch and pray and wait.

EASTER EVE HOLY SATURDAY(Padarn (6th Century), Bishop) {Can be celebrated during the week after Easter week}

My God, my lover, I thirst after Thee, I hunger after Thee. As I can, not as I ought, having in mind Thy passion, Thy buffetings, The scourgings, The wounds, remembering how Thou wast slain for my sake, how thou wast embalmed, how and where Though wast buried, I sit with Mary at the sepulchre in my heart weeping. Where faith hath laid Thee, hope seeketh to find Thee, love to anoint Thee. Come now, O Lord, rerveal Thy face to me, show Thy mercy to those who implore it. We know that Thy Resurrection is accomplished: manifest to our eyes Thy blessed incorruption. Abide with us, abide with us until the morning. Let us enjoy Thy presence; let us be glad and rejoice in Thy Resurrection. The darkness thickens, the evening cometh fast. May our sun, the Light eternal, Christ out God, show us the light of His countenance! Amen St. Anselm

THE DAY OF PENTECOST

Holy Father, fill us with the Holy Spirit, the power of the living God.Guide us by the Holy Spirit, the giver of light and life.Strengthen us through the Holy Spirit, the fire of love.Let your Spirit come upon us and change us and all your faithful people,that we may live and work to your praise and glory;through Jesus Christ our Lord,who is alive and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,one God, now and for ever. Amen
