INDEX — Communion Prep Packet for May 3, 2026

You're waking up to this. Read it first. 30 seconds.

What's here

File	What it is	When to use
`prep.html`	Interactive workspace. Open in browser. Tabs: Prompts, Anthology (filterable, voilib play buttons, notes save in browser), Morning walkthrough, Five shapes, What I cut.	Your primary tool. ~45 min if you engage everything; ~15 min if you just want the prompts.
`prompts.md`	The corrected skeleton. Source-rich prompts in your vocabulary. No AI-written candidate phrases. Same as the Prompts tab in `prep.html`.	If you'd rather work in markdown / VS Code than the browser.
`morning.md`	Sequenced 60–90 min walkthrough. Wake up, do this, then this. Three reading-orders (full / 30-min / 10-min).	Right after waking — gives you the order.
`anthology.md`	All 44 source entries, scored 1-5, organized by beat. Same data as the Anthology tab in `prep.html`.	Reading-only version of the anthology. The HTML is more useful (filters, play buttons, notes).
`anthology.json`	Raw data.	If you want to manipulate the data programmatically. Ignore otherwise.

Recommended order to wake up to

Open prep.html in your browser. Phone or laptop.
Read the Morning walkthrough tab first. It tells you what to do for the next 60-90 min.
Follow the walkthrough. It points you at the Prompts tab, the testimony memo, the texts, etc., in the right order.
Use the Anthology tab to scan source material when a prompt asks you to bring something into your voice. Each entry has a play button to voilib (so you can hit play and hear the moment fresh, not just read it).

The framing rule (carry it through everything)

Christ is the subject of every load-bearing verb. Your weakness is named, not performed. Your reaching is real, not completed.

What I (Claude) couldn't do — and you can

I cannot write praise. Piper is right about that. Every "candidate phrase" in this packet is structural scaffolding, not soul-words. The praise belongs in your mouth — where the Spirit puts it, when he puts it, in the words you would actually use. The prompts intentionally leave room for it. Don't try to write it in advance.

Notes on the build (so you know what I did)

I queried voilib for ~38 sources we touched this week and pulled play URLs into the anthology so you can click straight to the moment.
I scored each source 1-5 for match with this communion (your goal: lead to the cross, weakness/strength, glorify Christ).
I tagged each source by beat and theme (distinction, image, fire, witness, joseph_echo, weight, contemplative, etc.).
I rebuilt the Prompts file from scratch in your vocabulary (no liturgical jargon, no "elements/table"-as-altar) with source material visible inside the prompts — not hidden as forbidden moves.
I built five alternate shapes of the meditation (Strahan-led, Tyler-led, Joseph-veiled, contemplative, praise-led) so you can see the design space.
I wrote a "What I cut and why" section so nothing important silently disappears.
The previous output/skeleton.md is preserved as historical record. Use this prep packet (output/prep/) instead.
The previous output/walk-and-pray.md is preserved (it's what you took on your walk).

If you have time, after the prep

The anthology has notes-fields per entry. Anything you write there saves to your browser's localStorage. After the meditation, come back and write what landed and what didn't — that becomes seed for the next communion you lead.

Walk into tomorrow honest. The work is good. The Spirit will meet you.
