Welcome & Introduction
A Collect for Good Friday
Eternal God,
In the Cross of Jesus
We see the cost of our sin
And the depth of your love:
In humble hope and fear
May we place at his feet
All that we have and all that we are,
Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Introduction
Reflections for Good Friday
I am going to read and refer to various
Scriptures.
Don’t feel you have to look them up, but if
you want to, you can find them here: https://www.biblegateway.com/
Steward Townend hymn: How Deep the Father’s
Love for Us.
Speaking of the cross of the Lord Jesus it says:
“It was my sin that held him [Jesus] there [on
the cross] until it was accomplished”
The so-called Seven Deadly Sins
The Church Society has had a blog called The
Blessed Life during Lent and for seven days it looked at these sins and I will
be borrowing freely from there.
Galatians 5:20-26
(1) Lust
2 Samuel 11 and of David’s prayer of repentance in Psalm 51
(2) Gluttony
Proverbs 23:19-21
Proverbs 25:16
Thomas Aquinas distinguished different ways to be a glutton:
He wrote:
‘Now two things are to be considered in
eating, namely the food we eat, and the eating of it.
Accordingly, the inordinate desire may be
considered in two ways.
First, with regard to the food consumed: and
thus, as regards the substance or species of food a person seeks “sumptuous” —
i.e. costly food; as regards its quality, they seek food prepared too nicely —
i.e. “daintily”; and as regards quantity, they exceed by eating “too much.”
Secondly, the inordinate desire is considered
as to the consumption of food: either because one forestalls the proper time
for eating, which is to eat “hastily,” or one fails to observe the due manner
of eating, by eating “greedily.”’
(Summa Theologiae, Part 2-2, Question 148)

During the service, we will hear When I Survey
the Wondrous Cross sung.
The words can be found here: https://library.timelesstruths.org/music/When_I_Survey_the_Wondrous_Cross/
The response for the intercessions is:
Lord, hear us.
Lord, graciously hear us.
Standing at the foot of the cross, let us pray
with confidence as our Saviour has taught us:
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,
for ever and ever.
Amen.

A concluding prayer:
Most merciful God,
Who by the death and resurrection of your Son
Jesus Christ delivered and saved the world:
Grant that by faith in him who suffered on the
cross
We may triumph in the power of his victory;
Through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
Who is alive and reigns with you,
In the unity of the Holy Spirit,
One God now and for ever. Amen.
After the service we will play: How Deep the
Father’s Love for Us
Video with lyrics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzQj7XvKFmA
You could of course supplement the music with
your favourite Good Friday hymns or other music.
I know many enjoy The Old Rugged Cross.
Maybe O Sacred Head Surrounded.
Here is love vast as the ocean.
Rock of Ages.
We Sing the Praise of Him Who Died.
There are so many to choose from.
You might like to listen to some of Bach’s music
for the Passion. Or part of the Messiah.
