About this listen

A 48-Day Devotional Liturgy for Remembering Christ's Life, Death, and Resurrection

God's offer of eternal life through his work on the cross remains the greatest gift the world has known. But contrary to its importance, Holy Week always seems to pass by quickly and be associated with habitual practices that elicit little reflection. As a result, it can be challenging for Christians to establish routines for meditation on Christ's life, death, and resurrection.

O Sacred Head, Now Wounded by Jonathan Gibson presents a 48-day devotional liturgy to help listeners effectively prepare their hearts from Pascha (Easter) to Pentecost. Following the same format as Be Thou My Vision, each daily reading includes applicable Scripture readings, hymns, prayers, creeds, and prompts for petition and confession to enrich personal meditation and family worship. This devotional will help individuals and families establish a posture of remembrance and gratitude as they reflect on what Christ has done for us through his temptations, life, trial, passion, death, burial, resurrection, ascension, and Pentecost.

  • 42 Daily Readings Plus 6 Seasonal Devotions: Featuring Scripture readings, hymns, prayers, and creeds, as well as prompts for meditation, petition, and confession
  • Created for Lent and Easter: Guides listeners through the life and death of Jesus, from Pascha (Easter) to Pentecost
  • Repetition throughout Readings: Scripture, hymns, and creeds repeat to help listeners memorize important material
  • Written by Jonathan Gibson: Author of Be Thou My Vision: A Liturgy for Daily Worship and O Come, O Come, Emmanuel: A Liturgy for Daily Worship from Advent to Epiphany

Excellent devotional preparation for Easter

This is a beautiful way to prepare for Easter, whether you come from a traditional liturgical church background or not. The meditations, readings, prayers and songs are well chosen, and there is a good balance between creating a routine and providing freshness. The reader's voice is pleasant to listen to and is not dramatic or emotionally prescriptive.

A serious issue: the days between Ash Wednesday and Easter have been miscounted, so there is one too few, and Palm Sunday is two days too early.

A minor issue: the female voice in some of the songs, while perfectly fine in itself, is significantly different in pitch and tone to the rest of each day, and quite jarring.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
