Scriptures: Psalm 30; Luke 24:13-35
Prayer of the Day: Mysterious and Divine Presence, too often our hearts burn within us because our bodies know before our minds that you are here working in us and through us in this world. Open our eyes, and help us to recognize you in all places and in all people, for the sake of the one whose presence is never far, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Scriptures: Psalm 2:1-2, 7-11; Mark 15:16-39
Prayer of the Day: Lord of heaven and earth, your one and only Son came into the world to free humanity from sin and death.  Through his sacrificial death on the cross of Calvary he revealed his true identity to those who would see. Give us faith to see and know that Jesus is Lord, and to tell the world the good news of his life, death, and resurrection from the dead for humanity’s sake.  Let us proclaim, “He truly is the Son of God,” to a hurting world and may all people come to know your abiding grace and mercy.  We pray this in Jesus’ holy name.  Amen.

Scriptures: Psalm 22:22-28; John 18:33-19:16
Prayer of the Day: Ever-living God, nothing in this world can take away your strength and might.  You are the source of all life and goodness.  Grant that we would cling to the cross of Jesus and truly appreciate his sacrifice for us.  Transform our hearts so that we might follow in the ways of Christ, loving our enemies, praying for those who hate us, and doing good to those who persecute us.  It is only through your help and guidance that we can even think of imitating Christ.  It is in his holy and precious name we pray.  Amen.
