“My heart shall sing of the day you bring. Let the fires of your justice burn. Wipe away all tears, for the dawn draws near, and the world is about to turn” (ELW 723).

BE STILL
by Lisle Gwynn Garrity
inspired by Psalm 46 | graphic image

The wilderness of grief has brought her here—to this cave of stones arranged to hold the dead. Here where her weeping gives way to awe. Here where her worst fear and wildest dream collide. Here where the wilderness breaks open with the empty tomb.
What, now?
In the quiet of the dawn, Mary sips in a deep breath. Perhaps as she steps away, Psalm 46 becomes her prayer.

Inhale. Be still and know that I am God.
Exhale. Be still and know.
Inhale. Be still.
Exhale. Be.
Inhale. Exhale.
Begin again. The sun is rising for you.

Christ is risen! Alleluia!
Risen our victorious head!
Sing his praises! Alleluia!
Christ is risen from the dead!

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” —Matthew 5:4, ESV

"Oh God, there are no more answers.
Only silence,
and the echoes of yesterday’s questions.

God, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy.
Spirit, have mercy.

Oh God, soften my heart to be able to mourn what is lost.
Help me to name it now.
The people I thought I couldn’t live without.
The hope I can no longer conjure.
The joy that used to come quickly.

Oh God, unbind this sorrow.
Let me lament and cry and tremble,
for one lies broken— poured out and spent, entombed."
- From "The Lives We Actually Have" by Kate Bowler and Jessica Ritchie

READ
"Now before the festival of the Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end." - JOHN 13:1

PRAYER
Gracious God, at the end of this life, I long for my reputation to be
that I loved until the end, that I gave until the end, that I followed
you to the end. So with every step along my path, create space in
my heart for love to grow. Make me more like you. Amen.

JOHN 18:7-8
Again he asked them, “Whom are you looking for?” And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. So if you are looking for me, let these people go.”

PRAYER
Gracious God, even at the end, you were living for others. Even in the end, you were working to protect your disciples— those who had betrayed you. That type of love is a radical love, so if you will, teach me to love like that. Teach me to pay
attention to those around me. Amen.
