Good Friday – 3rd April – The Way of the Cross
A quiet reflective hour using the suggested Anglican prayers and bible verses for this Anglican version of the Stations of the Cross, which is an ancient tradition of considering the last hours of the Lord Jesus’ life. We begin at 0900 – the hour when Jesus first hung on the cross.
The format: I will, in total, read out 15 sections of text. These are scriptural stations describing moments from Gethsemane to burial and resurrection. We remain sitting or kneeling together in church. The format is a short opening prayer, then a scripture – usually 2 or 3 verses relating to the ”station” then there is around 60-90secs silence then a closing prayer; then I move onto the next station of the cross. No movement, no images. It is a quiet, reflective service of prayer. We begin tomorrow at 0900 – when, based on the scriptural reports, Jesus was first hung on the cross. Below is the content to be used.
At All Saints Amersfoort from 0900-1000.
