Almighty and everlasting God, in your tender love for the human race you sent your Son

our Saviour Jesus Christ to take upon Him our nature, and to suffer death upon the cross,

giving us the example of His great humility: Mercifully grant that we may walk in the

way of His suffering, and also share in His resurrection: through Jesus Christ our Lord,

who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

REFLECTION FIRST LESSON: In our Old Testament reading the prophet speaks the

word of the Lord: there is no other God. The Lord alone is able to save.

1st LESSON: 7:30a.m. - Arlene Paul-Kellman 9:15a.m. - Aliyah Reid

FIRSTFIRSTFIRSTFIRST LESSON: (OLD TESTAMENT): LESSON: (OLD TESTAMENT): LESSON: (OLD TESTAMENT): LESSON: (OLD TESTAMENT): Isaiah 45:21-25

Thus says the Lord, “Declare and present your case; let them take counsel together! Who

told this long ago? Who declared it of old? Was it not I, the LORD? And there is no other

god besides me, a righteous God and a Savior; there is none besides me. "Turn to me and

be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other. By myself I have

sworn, from my mouth has gone forth in righteousness a word that shall not return: `To

me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.' "Only in the LORD, it shall be said

of me, are righteousness and strength; to him shall come and be ashamed, all who were

incensed against him. In the LORD all the offspring of Israel shall triumph and glory."

REFLECTION THE PSALM: A psalm of lamentation and a plea for deliverance by

one who feels deserted and pressed in on every side.

PSALM: PSALM: PSALM: PSALM: 22:1-22 ( Psalm 22: 1-21: 7:30a.m. - page 493 BCP)

1. MY GOD, my God, look upon me; why hast thou forsaken me : and art so far from my

health, and from the words of my complaint?

2. O my God, I cry in the day-time, but thou hearest not : and in the night-season also I

take no rest.

3. And thou continuest holy : O thou worship of Israel.

4. Our fathers hoped in thee : they trusted in thee, and thou didst deliver them.

5. They called upon thee, and were holpen : they put their trust in thee, and were not con-

founded.

6. But as for me, I am a worm, and no man : a very scorn of men, and the outcast of the

people.

7. All they that see me laugh me to scorn : they shoot our their lips, and shake their heads,

saying,

8. He trusted in God, that he would deliver him : let him deliver him, if he will have him.

9. But thou art he that took me out of my mother’s womb : thou wast my hope, when I

hanged yet upon my mother’s breasts.

3

10. I have been left unto thee ever since I was born : thou art my God, even from my

mother’s womb.

11. O go not from me, for trouble is hard at hand : and there is none to help me.

12. Many oxen are come about me : fat bulls of Basan close me in on every side.

13. They gape upon me with their mouths : as it were a ramping and a roaring lion.

14. I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint : my heart also in the

midst of my body is even like melting wax.

15. My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaveth to my gums : and

thou shalt bring me into the dust of death.

16. For many dogs are come about me : and the council of the wicked layeth siege against

me.

17. They pierced my hands and my feet; I may tell all my bones : they stand staring and

looking upon me.

18. They part my garments among them : and casts lots upon my vesture.

19. But be not thou far from me, O Lord : thou art my succour, haste thee to help me.

20. Deliver my soul from the sword : my darling from the power of the dog.

21. Save me from the lion’s mouth : thou hast heard me also from among the horns of the

unicorns.

22. I will declare thy Name unto my brethren : in the midst of the congregation will I

praise thee.

REFLECTION SECOND LESSON: From one of the earliest Christian hymns we hear

how Christ Jesus accepted the condition of a servant, was obedient even to the point of

death, and was then given the name above every name.

2nd LESSON: 7:30a.m. - Norma Springer 9:15a.m. - Kiambu Edwards

SECOND LESSON (EPISTLE): SECOND LESSON (EPISTLE): SECOND LESSON (EPISTLE): SECOND LESSON (EPISTLE): Philippians 2:5-11

Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in

the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied

himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found

in human form he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a

cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is

above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on

earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory

of God the Father.

REFLECTION THE GOSPEL: Our Gospel is the story of Jesus in the Garden of

Gethsemane, his trials before the Jewish Council and Pilate, followed by his final

suffering, death and burial.

Bidding Prayer

Let us pray for the Church and for the world, to the Lord, the King of Glory.

As the Church rejoices in the triumphal entry of our Lord, grant to us also the spirit of

repentance, and sorrow for his suffering…May we at this holy time set forward the

message of his salvation and lay our minds and wills before him as an offering of faith.

Bring to a world that judges by outward signs of power the wisdom to discern where true

power lies in humility and love…Open the eyes of the rulers of the nations to see the one

true King and be ready to serve at his command.

Give to us and to all those around us the vision of holiness in the daily scene of work and

play…Help us to find in those we too easily take for granted the image of Christ the Lord,

and to honour one another as those who seek to follow in his way.

Have mercy on the sick and suffering for whom the shadow of the Cross is plainer at this

time than the glory of the day and who call out not in triumph but in anguish. Give them

relief in their afflictions and the hope of new life.

May the voices of those who bore witness to God in this world now be blended with the

eternal praise of the angels in heaven…May theirs be the song of triumph over sin and

death.

We offer our prayers in the name of Christ who has come to save his people. Amen.

RECESSIONAL HYMN - 145

A Guide to Holy Week

Why veil crosses for Holy Week

Those who follow the Roman tradition veil crosses, pictures, and statues on Passion

Sunday and they remain veiled until the arrival of Easter. According to Ritual Notes

“Before the first Evensong of Passion Sunday-all crosses, pictures, and Images In the

church (including, if practically possible, the great rood (Crucifix)) are covered with

opaque purple veils. These veils, which must not be transparent, nor bear any device or

symbol, are not removed for any festival, however high in rank, which may occur during

Passion week. In Anglican Services we read, “At the festal Mass, however, on Maundy

Thursday, the veil on the crosses are white; and on Good Friday they are sometimes

changed to black,”. Stations of the Cross are not veiled. According to The Ritual Reason

Why, “The spirit of the Passiontide veiling seems to be that the Church would draw off

7

our attention from everything but Him whose suffering [passion) she is commemorating,

bidding us ‘consider Him that endured such contradiction of sinners.’ It is also symbolical

of the hiding of our Lord’s glory during His earthly life, and especially dining His

ignominious and bitter Passion.”

Why use red on Palm Sunday

Red is used liturgically on Palm Sunday and in some churches on Good Friday because

that is the colour for martyrs. Since it symbolizes shed blood, the incorporation of red is

also used on Palm Sunday to commemorate and reflect upon the death of Jesus. These

two feasts mark the last days of Jesus, the innocent one who died for the guilty

Maundy Thursday

Maundy comes from the Latin mandaro — to command, or give an order. Maundy

Thursday therefore reminds us of Jesus’ command to his disciples - “A new

commandment I give to you, that you love one another; even as I have loved you...” (John

13:34). This command was uttered as Jesus engaged in one of two important activities in

the Upper Room — the washing of the disciples’ feet. In it he demonstrated his servant-

hood, although he was their Lord and Master. Some churches re-enact the foot-washing

at this service, with the President playing the leading role.

The only service instituted by Jesus was the Sacrament of his body and blood — Holy

Communion. This was the other important event that took place in the Upper Room. As

this is the anniversary of the service, there is a celebratory tone about it, with the singing

of the Gloria — omitted during Lent — during which bells are rung.

One of the other aspects of Maundy Thursday is the Procession with the Blessed

Sacrament to the Altar of Repose, and the removal of Ornaments and Linen from the

Sanctuary and Altar, referred to as the Stripping of the Altar — this is a reminder of the

stripping of our Lord for Crucifixion. During the stripping, Psalm 22 is read or sung, but

there is no Gloria. The opening words “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me,”

were repeated by Jesus on the Cross and verse 17 — “.... they parted my garments among

them” — also refers to one of the actions of the soldiers. This is followed by the agony -

St. Matthew 26:30-46. There is a quietness associated with the end of this service (no

Organ postlude e.g.) which is continued into Good Friday (no Organ prelude)

The Liturgical calendar provides the option of using white or red on Maundy Thursday. It

is preferable to use white - for joy and celebration - with the change to a red or purple

stole for the Stripping of the Altar signifying the change of focus.

Good Friday

Good Friday is the day of commemoration for our Lord’s final suffering and death. The

main Good Friday service begins at 12 noon and lasts for about three hours. Jesus would

have been on the cross for some time, but it was during this period (the sixth to the ninth

hour) that there was darkness over the land, when it is believed that he felt the full weight

of the sins of the world and cried out, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

Some Churches centre their devotions on the seven words spoken from the Cross by

Jesus, but more and more the Good Friday Liturgy is being used. It commences with the

quietness which marked the end of the Maundy Thursday service, and comprises four

parts. The first part is the Liturgy of the Word, The second part is the Solemn

Intercession, The third part is the Veneration of the Cross, The last part of the Liturgy is

Holy Communion. The Sacrament is received in one kind only — bread.
