Lent and Beyond: Good Friday 2014 Index

I (Karen) have had the joy and privilege of being able to take a Holy Week retreat the past 2 days, which enabled me to find a a lot of wonderful devotional material online to share here.  I never expected to post so many entries today, but I have been so thankful to spend the day in worship, prayer and reflection through the various devotionals, hymns, poems, etc. that I’ve posted.  Here’s an index of all our Good Friday posts today, starting with the earliest entries first.

• GOOD FRIDAY 2014 (the header post which appeared at the top of the blog throughout the day with several key links)

• A Good Friday Hymn #1: Alas and Did my Savior Bleed
• Good Friday Quotes: Charles Spurgeon – I Slew Him
• One Brutal Death…. today’s Good Friday devotional from Desiring God
• A Hymn for Good Friday #2: O Love Divine, What Hast Thou Done
• Good Friday 2014 around the blogosphere
• Patrick Comerford’s Sermons on the Seven Last Words of Christ on the Cross

 ***

After the posting of “DEAD!” at 20:00 GMT this evening, I won’t post anything further until 16:00 GMT tomorrow (noon Eastern) [Jill or Torre may perhaps post some entries, however].  I’ve scheduled five posts for Holy Saturday tomorrow afternoon and evening.  I’ve so enjoyed devotional blogging this Lent and Holy Week.  I hope to be able to continue posting with some frequency throughout the 50 Days of Easter.  Stay tuned….

I and all of us here at Lent & Beyond wish a blessed Good Friday, Holy Saturday and a GLORIOUS Easter to all our readers and friends.  – Karen B.  L&B founder
