2007-Apr-4 - Holy Week Prayer..

Lord Jesus Christ, when you entered Jerusalem,

the people spread a carpet of palm branches before you, and shouted,

‘Blessings on him who comes in the name of the Lord.’

Lord Jesus, we want to join them in their welcome and their praise. 

When the people’s praises turned to jeering

and they shouted ‘Crucify!’, you prayed for their forgiveness.

Lord Jesus, we know that we are the same sort of people

as those who jeered at you then; we too need your forgiveness.

 When you were raised from the tomb,

men were brought to see in your living and your dying

 the surpassing love of God.

Lord Jesus, nothing in all creation can separate us

from the love of God which we meet in you. 

Amen.
