OUR CURRENT EVENTS
PRAYER VIGIL
The Daughters of the King invite you to participate in a Prayer Vigil after the Maundy Thursday service until 3pm on Good Friday.
It is a custom of our Christian tradition to keep vigil with Christ at different times and in different ways during Holy Week. One of the places from which we draw this custom is Jesus’ request to his disciples to keep watch while he prayed and agonized in the Garden of Gethsemane. The invitation was there for them, as it is for us today.
The Gethsemane Watch or Prayer Vigil begins after the Maundy Thursday service and focuses on keeping watch with Jesus as he is arrested and lasting up until the Good Friday service. The Good Friday Vigil is also a solemn time of praying after the Good Friday service until 3pm and focusing on the crucifixion.
We invite you to set aside an hour at home to pray during these times as part of your Lenten observance.
“Who can stay awake in this night of God? Who will not be as if paralyzed by it? Christ’s struggle was with God. This was his real agony. He overcame it through his self-surrender. That was his victory, and our hope”. Jurgen Moltmann
A Prayer for Vigilance: "Lord, keep me spiritually awake. Guard my heart from distraction, indifference, and spiritual slumber".
Surrender Prayer: "Lord Jesus, from the garden You walked forward with courage toward the cross. As this hour of prayer ends, help me rise with renewed strength and confidence".
For His sake,
Mother Celeste+ DOK Chaplain
