What a Good Friday…8 churches came together to make a powerful statement of unity in our commonality even as we each showed our unique approaches to faith practice. Nearly 200 people walked our pilgrim path of prayer.

Our station was Jesus laid in the tomb, and we connected it to the grief of all those who lay down someone they love into the grave. We were honored to be part of this experience and hope to do many more such offerings with our colleagues in Peninsula Faith Leaders!

Station 8: Jesus is Laid in the Tomb

From the Gospel according to Matthew 27:59-61:

Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in his new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock; and he rolled a large stone against the entrance of the tomb and went away. But Mary Magdalene and the other Mary remained sitting there, facing the grave.

Jesus' mother and close friends were given his body to lay in the tomb.

Touching his precious face once more, wrapping his beloved skin in clean cloth, and gently carrying this strong young man to be buried in a cave.

The ones tasked with caring for a body are often those closest to the deceased, which is necessary, appropriate, and tragic.

What feelings do the video's images evoke for you?

Today is a day to acknowledge that control is a myth and when we can give up the illusion that we have to control outcomes or people we can swim freely in the grace of our Rabbi that washes our feet in humility and then places himself in the swirling storm of evil and consumes the suffering so we don’t have to swallow it. Father Rohr reminds us that “giving up control is a school to learn union, compassion, and understanding.”

On this Maundy (mandate) Thursday we have a mandate to break open the bread and pour out the wine to remember that Jesus consumed death in his very body in order to bring new life and new wine and a new kingdom. May you take time today to read John 14-16 slowly and meditate on the words of Jesus as a balm for your weary soul.

Today we would like to offer you all a poem and reflection by the author of The Second Cup as a guided meditation for you today. Here is a snippet of the whole essay and poem. The full version will be linked in our stories and available below. Here are her words for you …

Lately, I’ve been entertaining a crazy thought: What if we can live in a way that is pain-accepting? And I’m not talking about in a defeated kind of way, but rather in a even-you-have-your-beauty, come-on-now, we’re-not-afraid-of-your-rough-edges kind of way. Like a bully who you’ve discovered is just an insecure softie, and-because of this-you can learn to forgive their cruelty, and to see humanity twinkling even in their eyes. Despite yourself, you might find there’s even something to be liked about them-though to be sure, it takes a little extra curiosity and patience and innovation to draw it out.

Pain has always felt angular and unforgiving and awful to me. Dreadful. Worthy of dread. Ready to slash soft flesh and leave brutality in its wake. But
—could pain (and suffering) usher in its own kind of softness? Could it be like the folds of a billowing blanket in the sun, caressing us in a dance with a partner that we’d never have chosen and yet-it makes our bodies move in ways we never imagined and opens our eyes to perspectives we’d never have seen? What if pain is all brutish and rough on the outside but with something of value within, an unexpected dazzling bit of crystal trapped in grey stone? It is hard work to extract it, there’s not denying that. Though we’d rather tumble through cheerful tide pools of joy any day, what reward is to be found in the curious chipping away of flint?

“To consume the Eucharist is an act of anticonsumption, for here to consume is to be consumed, to be taken up into participation in something larger than the self, yet in a way in which the identity of the self is paradoxically secured.”
