Maundy Thursday Tenabrae Service


Hollow sorrow
of Good Friday:
Doubt and Sorrow,
Fear and Shame,
Agony and Hate,
all sneered at Christ.

The final jokester,
Death,
laughed at his victory.

All light vanquished,
worship symbols silently removed,
our sanctuary settled into the silence
of barren despair,
the world without Jesus.
