Resources for Holy Week
Including an Invitation to a "Holy Silence on Holy Saturday" at 3pm Ireland time
Dear Friends,
Some of you might be inundated this week with resources for Holy Week, and if that’s the case - read no further! But if you’re looking for some things to watch or listen to, to enhance your Holy Week, I have a few resources to share with you, as well as a Zoom invitation to a shared Holy Silence on Saturday (scroll to the bottom for that link).
Blessings to you this Holy Week and Easter.
May it be a time of pausing, listening to the wisdom of silence.
May it be a time of serving one another in love.
May it be a time of persistence for justice and peace, out of a place of deep faith in God’s goodness.
May it be a time when we lean into the questions, not afraid to ask them of God.
And then, may it be an opportunity for new life to spring forth out of unknowingness.
Kiran
Holy Week
A Thought for the Day from me (featured on Radio Ulster on Tuesday this week)
Maundy/Holy Thursday
Celtic Psalms and Corrymeela were a part of an ecumenical televised service on Maundy/Holy Thursday. Centred around the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement, the service features many inspirational figures (victims, survivors, ministers and presidents) who continue to work for peace on this island.
Good Friday
Revisit the Psalms for the Spirit podcast episode with Munther Isaac, Palestinian theologian, in which he reflects particularly on the significance of Psalm 22 on Good Friday
“Persistence as a Sign of Deep Faith”
Holy Saturday
Hear the words of Psalm 88, with scenes from Ballycastle. A Psalm with many questions and no trite answers.
Below is a Zoom invitation to a “Holy Silence on Holy Saturday.” I will light a candle and hold a silence for an hour at 3pm Ireland time. Anyone is welcome to join me if you would like to join in a shared silence between Good Friday and Easter. Feel free to drop in, even if you can’t stay the whole time.
Easter
Revisit the Barbara Brown Taylor conversation on the Psalms for the Spirit podcast. If you sign up for the Psalms for the Spirit newsletter, you’ll receive this in your inbox on Easter day.
