O God, by the passion of your blessed Son you made an instrument of shameful death to be for us the means of life: Grant us so to glory in the cross of Christ, that we may gladly suffer shame and loss for the sake of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Jesus gave us a litany of last words as a Sufferer; we refer to them as the Seven Last Words of Christ. The deathbed words of the Suffering Servant provide a framework for the stories of lament I'll be sharing here this Holy Week. Would you read the stories with me, and listen with an open, prayerful heart?
For a variety of reasons, I'm shifting the typical direction of our Retrieve Lament series. I'll be sharing a combination of new posts and posts from the archives with some opportunities for live conversation and prayer in the mix. Don't miss the details below to join Brian and me and a few others in a conversation about lament as well.
Join us tonight (Tuesday) for another conversation about grief and lament. It was so meaningful to connect with several of you last night and I'm looking forward to hearing from some of the folks who've contributed guest posts over the past years.
The time was so good, we've decided to add two more opportunities to gather this week - tonight (Tuesday) at 8 pm and Wednesday afternoon at 1 pm (both Eastern Time).
Tonight, Brian and I will host the conversation on Zoom at 8:00 pm (Eastern Time). You will need a password to join the conversation:
