April 03, 2021 – 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.
