A Prayer for Holy Saturday 2011
Heavenly Father, I am silenced at the grave of Your Son. In justice You called for Him, who knew no sin, to be made sin for us. Yet You permitted Your Son to die in innocence. In love He came to us but He was rejected by hate. He taught us obedience but men rebelled [...]

A Prayer for Good Friday 2011
O Christ, Lamb of God, slain for the sin of the whole world, with penitent heart I come to Your Cross, pleading for mercy and forgiveness. My sins—and they are many—have added to the burden of Your suffering and have nailed You to the accursed tree. For me You tasted the agony of the utter [...]

Holy Thursday or Maundy Thursday?
As the Senior Editor working with church resources at Concordia Publishing House, I have decisions to make about what appears in those resources.

A Prayer for Tuesday of Holy Week 2011
Lord Jesus, compassionate Savior, plead for me in the hour of trial. You know my weaknesses and shortcomings; I cannot hide my sins from You. Pray for me, gracious Redeemer, lest I deny You.

Winter/St. Lucy Ember Days Soon Upon Us
Sant Crux, Lucia, Cineres, Charismata Dia Ut sit in angaria quarta sequens feria. Which for those of us who don’t think in Latin: Holy Cross, Lucy, Ash Wednesday, Pentecost, are when the quarter holidays follow.
