Prayerful Pause




Holy Week is all about your mercy, Lord:
about how much I need it,
how my heart longs for your pardon
and the peace you make with all of us,
time and time again...

Holy Week is all about your love, Lord:
about how much I need it,
how I take it so for granted,
how your kindness mends and heals us,
time and time again...

Holy Week is all about new life, Lord:
about how much I need it,
how I thirst for new beginnings
and for you to rise in each of us,
time and time again...

Help me walk this holy week with you, Lord:
to your mercy, love and life,
to Easter's hope and joy,
to the promise of the peace you offer,
time and time again...
