Good Friday -- Office of Readings: Hebrews 9:11-28


The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer are sprinkled on those who have incurred defilement and they restore the holiness of their outward lives; how much more effectively the blood of Christ, who offered himself as the perfect sacrifice to God through the eternal Spirit, can purify our inner self from dead actions so that we do our service to the living God.

Office of Readings: Numbers 14:1-25


The Lord said, "I forgive them as you ask. But--as I live, and as the glory of the Lord fills all the earth--of all men who have seen my glory and the signs that I worked in Egypt and in the wilderness, who have put me to the test ten times already and not obeyed my voice, not one shall see the land I swore to give their fathers. Not one of those who slight me shall see it."

Office of Readings: Exodus 35


"And Moses said unto the children of Israel, See, the Lord hath called by name Bezaleel...and he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship.

And to devise curious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass.

And in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in the carving of wood, to make any manner of cunning work....

Then wrought Bezaleel...and every wise hearted man...all manner of work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the Lord had commanded."
