Good Friday
Apr. 2nd, 2010 01:02 pmHalfway through Good Friday. One service this afternoon, but I have no responsibilities for that one. Reeeaaally missing naps today.
It is such an odd day, so emotionally draining, but with this incomplete quality to it. (Which is quite conscious and deliberate in our tradition, you don't have a blessing at the 'end' of a service from Thursday right through to the first Mass on Easter morning, because it is one long service, that stretches the whole three days.) The feeling of the day is of a held breath, or perhaps of the moment just before the sun breaks over the horizon at dawn.
I thought I'd post my Good Friday sermon for anyone who is interested:
This is the first time I've made one of my sermons available on the web, I feel vulnerable even giving people copies when they've asked for them. But I have to be brave sooner or later!
