Weekday Devotions For Lent
Good Friday, April 7, 2023
Breath Prayer
Use a simple phrase as you breathe in and out to center yourself and find space for prayer. Today’s Breath Prayer is inspired by the prayer Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me; yet, not my will but yours be done” (Luke 22:42).
Daily Gospel Reading
John 19:16-18, 28-30 
16 Then he handed him over to them to be crucified. 
So they took Jesus, 17 and carrying the cross by himself he went out to what is called the Place of the Skull, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha. 18 There they crucified him and with him two others, one on either side, with Jesus between them. 
28 After this, when Jesus knew that all was now finished, he said (in order to fulfill the scripture), “I am thirsty.” 29 A jar full of sour wine was standing there. So they put a sponge full of the wine on a branch of hyssop and held it to his mouth. 30 When Jesus had received the wine, he said, “It is finished.” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

Music to Accompany your Devotional
Music is an important part of our faith: it comforts us, connects us to others as we join them in song,
and is a means of praising God. Many hymns draw on texts from the Bible, connecting us with other believers across time and space as we learn and repeat words that have been precious to prior generations and to our kin across the globe.
Es ist vollbracht!
It is accomplished! 
O Trost vor die gekränkten Seelen!
What comfort for all suffering souls! 
Die Trauernacht
The night of sorrow 
Läßt nun die letzte Stunde zählen.
now reaches its final hours. 
Der Held aus Juda siegt mit Macht
The hero from Judah triumphs in his might
Und schließt den Kampf.
and brings the strife to an end.
Es ist vollbracht!
It is accomplished!
