Holy Week

God’s Word

Isaiah 65:17-25 “Behold, I create new heavens and a new earth.”

Psalm 16 You will not abandon me to the grave, nor let Your Holy One see decay.

1 Corinthians 15:19-26 “Christ . . . the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.”

Luke 24:1-12 The women visit the tomb.

Collect of the Day

Our Redeemer, You have rescued us from the power of sin, death, and the devil by Your perfect life, death, and resurrection. Let the light of your love, mercy, and grace shine on us and radiate out through us so the world experiences the reality of the resurrection; through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.  Amen.

Theme

Putrid death mutes joy and Gladness. And yet the sound of weeping and the cry of distress will be no more in the wake of resurrection. Christ is alive. Death is destroyed. There is no stench of death at the morning tomb, no need for embalming spices, but only bold confession. “He is not here, but has risen.” Stymied and uncertain, Peter inspects an empty tomb. Where death no longer reigns, exceeding marvel, comfort, and joy flourish.

Martin Luther’s Morning Prayer

I thank You, my heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, Your dear Son, that You have kept me this night from all harm and danger; and I pray that You would keep me this day also from sin and every evil, that all my doings and life may please You. For into Your hands I commend myself, my body and soul, and all things. Let Your holy angel be with me, that the evil foe may have no power over me. Amen.

Martin Luther’s Evening Prayer

I thank You, my heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, Your dear Son, that You have graciously kept me this day; and I pray that You would forgive me all my sins where I have done wrong, and graciously keep me this night. For into Your hands I commend myself, my body and soul, and all things. Let Your holy angel be with me, that the evil foe may have no power over me. Amen.
