Note: As a personal, spiritual discipline, reviving my practice in the Lenten season of 2017, I revise the prayers I wrote then for each of the forty days of this Lent; each petition focusing on a theme, a concern weighing on my mind and heart or a care of my soul and spirit.

On Holy Saturday…
O Jesus, on this day, dead, Your Body lay in the tomb.
I pray You, fortify my faith, granting unto me peace with my death, whenever and however it is to come; and, as God, Your God, my God, raised You from the dead, also give unto me the sureness of trust of my rising to Life with You in Your eternal Presence of Love.
Amen.
