In the centre of your mat there are several things to help you to remember and focus on the events of Holy week and Easter
Let us pray…
As you touch the water remember the humility of Christ as he washed his disciples feet and pray that we will serve as Jesus served us
Rub the olive oil into the back of your hand. In the garden in the Olive grove Jesus was filled with anguish and cried out to God. Lord Jesus in our times of anguish and despair hear our cry.
Feel the rough wood of the cross and sharp nails. Christ died for us that our sins may be forgiven and we will have eternal life with our father in heaven. Turn to the open arms of Jesus on the cross and be filled with his love.
Break the spiced bread, smell and taste its richness, eat the chocolate eggs and celebrate Christ’s victory over death. He is risen. Risen Lord we praise and thank you for your glorious triumph over death. May everything we do be a witness for your glory.
The stone was rolled away and your light shone out and pierced the darkness. Your light will never be overcome. May we shine with your light may our schools be a beacon in the darkness.
In a moment I want you to blow out the candle and watch carefully what happens. Watch as the candle light becomes invisible light and fills the room.
The light of Christ is with us always. His spirit is with us always
