Sitting in Silence | Holy Week pt. 6

Intentionally Pausing

A Holy Week Experiment in Creating Space

Sitting in Silence

The Body of the Dead Christ in the Tomb, by Hans Holbein the Younger, 1521, Kunstmuseum, Basel.

Acquainted with Death | A Holy Saturday Prayer 

Christ, we know you are well acquainted with death. 
The death on the cross. 
The death of the middle passage. 
The death of the residential schools.
The death of a culture addicted to violence.
The death of for-profit medicine. 
The death of oppression in every form. 
We bear witness to the body of the Dead Christ in the tomb. 
Amen.
