Holy Saturday Prayers

As we wait for Easter, for our observance of the resurrection, and as we wait for resurrections in our own lives:

In times of despair, O God, rain showers of gentleness upon us, that we may be kindly to one another and also to ourselves. Renew in us the spirit of hope. Even in the depths of the darkness, may we hear the approach of the One who harrows hell and greets even Judas with a kiss.
