Holy Saturday PrayerBy Kerry Greenhill This is the hardest time to pray: after the drama and catastrophe, before the angels and the big reveal. The passion, the agony, the desperate grief have given way to numbness and absence in this time in between. God seems to be offstage, preparing for the final scene, taking care of ancient souls in other worlds or clothing the hidden, broken body in resurrection glory. So let our prayer this day be plain and to the point: May God be with us in the waiting, and may we wait with hope, today and every time in between. Amen.

Take time to be quiet, reflect, & pray.I've attended many churches for Good Friday in my life. I think the most memorable was many years ago. My in-laws invited us and at the time, we weren't necessarily going to church but out of love and respect, we joined them for service. It was more than a service, it was a living message of Good Friday. We all left silent, humbled, and thankful. This must have been Jesus' darkest day or was it? Read John 13:1- 17
Have you ever humbled yourself to let someone wash your feet?
