On Easter Sunday, the Scottish Episcopal Church and 13 other denominations join together in prayer at 7pm, as they have done on Sundays throughout the year of the coronavirus pandemic.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many of those joining together in prayer, which appears in English and Gaelic below, will also light candles.<\/p>\n

In a joint message, church leaders in Scotland said:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe day of Resurrection begins \u2018while it was still dark\u2019 and takes us to the place where the Lord has been buried and sealed away. The journey through the week past began with \u2018Hosanna!\u2019 and ended in \u2018Crucify!\u2019 In the darkness of that morning, it is Mary Magdalene who first senses that the journey, seemingly ended on the Cross, has yet further to unfold. Mary remains at the tomb, consumed by sorrow and tears, until she finds herself in the company of a person whom she does not recognise.<\/p>\n

\u201cInto the depth of her sorrow, a voice speaks and calls her by her name: \u2018Mary!\u2019 It is as if the voice speaks into the very depths of her heart and her eyes are opened. In that moment there is the recognition that she stands in the presence of the risen Lord and in time Mary will bear witness: \u2018I have seen the Lord\u2019. (John 20: 1-18)<\/p>\n

\u201cOn this day of Resurrection, the risen Lord speaks to all who have journeyed in dark places and who have known sorrow and tears. He speaks into the depths of our heart and calls us by our name. In response, we join with the people of God and proclaim: \u2018Christ is risen. He is risen indeed. Alleluia!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

We pray:<\/p>\n

God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,<\/em>
\nIn your great mercy<\/em>
\nYou give us new birth into a living hope<\/em>
\nThrough the resurrection of Jesus Christ. <\/em>
\nOn this day, receive our praise and our thanks forever!<\/em>
\nLord, in your mercy,<\/em>
\nHear our prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,<\/em>
\nIn your great mercy<\/em>
\nYou have journeyed with us through the darkness<\/em>
\nAnd you bring us now to the day of light.<\/em>
\nLead us through the darkness and into the abiding light of your presence.<\/em>
\nLord, in your mercy,<\/em>
\nHear our prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,<\/em>
\nIn your great mercy<\/em>
\nYou journey with those who have known sorrow and tears.<\/em>
\nIn your compassion, journey with them still<\/em>
\nAnd bring to them healing and the hope of the life everlasting.<\/em>
\nLord, in your mercy,<\/em>
\nHear our prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,<\/em>
\nIn your great mercy<\/em>
\nYou speak into the depths of our hearts<\/em>
\nAnd you call us by our name.<\/em>
\nCall us by our name that we might proclaim: Christ is risen. Alleluia!<\/em>
\nLord, in your mercy,<\/em>
\nHear our prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,<\/em>
\nIn your great mercy<\/em>
\nYou give us new birth into a living hope<\/em>
\nThrough the resurrection of Jesus Christ. <\/em>
\nOn this day, receive our praise and our thanks forever!<\/em>
\nLord, in your mercy,<\/em>
\nHear our prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

Gairm gu \u00f9rnaigh: Latha na S\u00e0baid, 1d dhen Ghiblean Latha na C\u00e0isge, \u00f9rnaigh aig 7f<\/strong><\/p>\n

Th\u00f2isich Madainn na h-Aiseirighe \u201cfhad \u2019s a bha i fhathast dorcha\u201d anns an \u00e0ite far an robh an Tighearna air a th\u00ecodhlachadh san uaigh. Aig toiseach na seachdainne bha an sluagh ag \u00e8igheach \u201cHosanna\u201d, aig a deireadh b\u2019 e \u201cCeus e!\u201d a ghlaoidh iad. Ann an dorchadas na maidne ud, b\u2019 e M\u00e0iri Magdalen, air toiseach air c\u00e0ch, a thuig nach t\u00e0inig an sgeul gu cr\u00ecoch air a\u2019 chrann-ceusaidh. Dh\u2019fh\u00e0n M\u00e0iri aig an uaigh, fo mhulad is fo bhr\u00f2n, gus an do mhothaich i gun robh cuideigin nach b\u2019 aithne dhi am fagas. Labhair guth don t\u00e8 a bha fo bhr\u00f2n, agus ghairm e i air a h-ainm, \u201cA Mh\u00e0iri!\u201d Anns a\u2019 bhad, dh\u2019aithnich i gun robh i na seasamh ann an l\u00e0thaireachd Tighearna na h-aiserighe, agus chaidh i gus innse dha na deisciobail, \u201cChunnaic mi an Tighearna.\u201d (E\u00f2in 20: 1 – 18).<\/p>\n

An-diugh, air Latha na C\u00e0isge, tha an Tighearna be\u00f2 a\u2019 bruidhinn ris an fheadhainn a\u2019 siubhal eadhon tr\u00ecd ghlinn dorcha sg\u00e0ile a\u2019 bh\u00e0is, a tha fo mhulad is fo bhr\u00f2n. Tha e a\u2019 bruidhinn rinne, air ar n-ainm. Agus mar sin, tha sinn, maille ri poball Dh\u00e8 air feadh an t-saoghail, a\u2019 seinn \u201cTha Cr\u00ecosd air \u00e8irigh. Tha e air \u00e8irigh gu dearbh. Alleluia!\u201d<\/p>\n
