A Current Testimony from Sister M. . . .
I am reading through all four Gospel accounts of the whole [Crucifixion] experience at present,
and it is just beyond my ability to comprehend such suffering and amazing love that kept HIM+ on track,
DARKNESS AT NOON
This series of Lenten / Passover Meditations will reflect the 6th Hour Prayer ( noon ) . Today, many liturgical churches continue to observe these ancient prayer hours. They were based upon the prayer hours in the Temple in Jerusalem.
The 6th Hour Prayer occurred at the same time that the earth was darkened at Noon, on the day The LORD JESUS was Crucified.
And Who+ ,
at that 3rd Hour of the Ancient Day,
bore the wood of the Cross through Jerusalem to Golgotha and was nailed . . .
Myrrh, that bitter herb, was present in His+ Life three times .
HOLY FATHER, thank YOU for Your Beloved SON+ Whose+ most noble Head bore the Crown of Thorns and which same sacred Head was struck with a reed, His+ Face with hands and fists.
Recalling that HE+ hid not His+ Face from shame and
spitting, we thank YOU that by HIS+ Wounds we are
healed. We remember the chastisement of
our peace was upon HIM+.
We remember the scourging HE+ unjustly received from Pilate’s hand . . . after being mocked, slapped, and beaten by the Temple guard . . . and then Herod’s men . . . and then by the Roman soldiers, giving His+ back to the smiters and His+ cheeks to them that plucked out the hair.
The DEAFENING SILENCE
Heavenly FATHER, we thank YOU for the times HE+ gave no answer at all to His+ accusers, as a Lamb led to the slaughter and as a sheep before his shearers is silent.

3RD HOUR MORNING PRAYER
Heavenly FATHER, we come before YOU at this 3rd hour of the ancient day, the hour of the Morning Sacrifice in the Temple . . . that same hour that Your Beloved SON+, the LAMB+ of GOD that taketh away the sin of the world, was offered up on the Cross for our sakes.
Blessed are the peacemakers:
for they shall be called the children of GOD.
Matthew 5:9
Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous:
Nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. Hebrews 12:11
HEBREWS 12: 5 - 10
And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the LORD, nor faint when thou art rebuked of HIM: 12:5
For whom the LORD loveth HE chasteneth, and scourgeth every son
whom HE receiveth. 12:6
