Week of April 25

Almighty and eternal God, on the edge of sadness, when all seemed lost, You restored to us the Savior we thought defeated and conquered. Help us, we beg You, so to empty ourselves of self concern, that we might see Your hand in every failure, and Your victory in every defeat. Give us the courage and dedication to sacrifice and suffer with those who are in need, the least of Your people. We ask all these things in the name of Jesus, our Redeemer. Amen.

"Now when evening had come, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus. This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given to him. When Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in his new tomb which he had hewn out of the rock; and he rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb, and departed."

(Matthew 27:57-60, NKJV)
