Jesus is Laid in the Tomb

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Reflection

Jesus’ body is wrapped in a shroud and placed in a nearby tomb of a friend.  But in three days God will raise him to new life and he will go before us into Galilee and every place where his mission is to flourish.  We can embrace no grater act than to plunge into the mission of the risen Lord and be witnesses of his freeing presence in the world.  "Release those bound unjustly, untie the bonds of slavery, set free the oppressed, break every yoke; share your bread with the hungry, cloth the naked, do not turn your back on your own."

Prayer - When all seemed lost, o Jesus, you empower us to follow your example and inspire us to follow in your mission. Help us to empty ourselves of self concerns that we might see your hand in our personal failures and your Word that brings humanity to live as one family, brothers and sisters in Jesus.  Amen.
