Introduction

Today’s Scripture: Matthew 27:59, 60a
So Joseph took it, wrapped it in a new linen sheet, and placed it in his own tomb, which he had just recently dug out of solid rock.
Today’s Reading
Matthew 27:57-66
Reflect
Mary Magdalene and others keep the first Easter vigil at Jesus’s tomb. It is a time of mourning over the past and hoping for the future. On this day before Easter, reflect on your past year, and consider how you can better follow Christ as you prepare to celebrate his resurrection.
Pray
Lord Jesus, I await your coming. Renew my spirit and prepare my heart to experience the joy and grace of your resurrection. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those who are grieving the death of a loved one
