There is good news. As has been usual in the approach to Good Friday and Easter Saturday, the e-News shares a concluding scene from Bach’s St Matthew Passion. It narrates the deposition of Jesus’ body from the cross and burial. Reflecting on this, the Narrator prays that his heart be made pure from sin so that Jesus might be buried there. This version is sung by one of the sweetest baritone voices of the 20^th century: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jM16AYlGP7g
