I am currently looking at the service for the evening of Good Friday, we are doing a youth service, Ian a while back had a link to a very good resource and I am planning on using some of these ideas, would highly recommend it if you are thinking around the same issues, but thought Id see if anyone had any other ideas, the more the merrier as the say. Cheers!
For me the vital thing about Easter is the totality of it. It’s about transformation. From then Lenten fast to Maunday Thursday feast to the INCREDIBLE stripping of the altars and the hours of watch in the night. Good Friday is then contemplated in stark simplicity with everything stripped away but the understanding that “Sunday’s coming”.
I always find it difficult that people do some of the Triduum but not all. This is especially true for young people cos we often feel we can’t demand tha they come to everything. So I suppose I would say try to get them to Thursday and Sunday too. I dunno if that helps .
