This Holy Saturday meditation reflects on the human pain and psychological shame endured by Jesus the Christ in His passion and death. "No greater love  can a man have than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." By this, Jesus has made us friends with Himself, and friends with God Whom we had offended by our sin, but now we can approach to find grace, favor, and welcome. Psalm 86, the Litany, and the Easter  chorale  "Christ Jesus lay in Death's Strong Bands" are included in this program.
