On Good Friday, Christians remember the life and death of Jesus, who was publicly crucified. Like many Christians, my family honored this day by being silent (or as quiet as possible) between Noon-3pm to contemplate the suffering and death of Jesus. It was a time of stillness and remembering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever your beliefs, I invite you to take some time today to contemplate the suffering and death we have all experienced in some way this year with a prayer, chant, meditation, or by lighting a candle. On this day, may we take a holy moment to be still and remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still
<\/em>By Jan Richardson<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This day
let all stand still
in silence,
in sorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sun and moon
be still.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earth
be still.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still
the waters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still
the wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let the ground
gape in stunned
lamentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let it weep
as it receives
what it thinks
it will not
give up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let it groan
as it gathers
the One
who was thought
forever stilled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time
be still.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watch
And wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
