Saturday, 30 March, 2013 – Holy Saturday, Easter Eve
– 1 Peter 3:17-22 – The victory lap through Hell
The Antiphon: From the depths of the grace I called for help, and
You listened to my cry. – Jonah 2:2b
Prayer for Easter Eve – O God, who didst enlighten this most holy night with the glory of the
Lord’s resurrection, preserve in all Thy people the spirit of adoption which
Thou hast given so that, renewed in body and soul, they may perform unto Thee a
pure service.
Abide with us, Lord, for it is toward evening,
and the day is far spent. Abide with Your whole Church. Abide with us in the
end of the day, in the end of our life, in the end of the world. Abide with
Your grace and goodness, with You holy Word and Sacrament, with Your strength
and blessing. Abide with us when the night of affliction and temptation comes
upon us, the night of fear and despair when death shall come. Abide with us all
the faithful through time and eternity.
