Prayer for Holy Week

3/22/2016

 
I wrote this responsive prayer for Holy Week. It will be read at a community Good Friday service. If you like it, please use it for yourself or for a service. If you so desire, please pass it around.

Leader:  Hear this, all the Earth. The Lord Our God. The Lord is One. Blessed are those who come in the name of the Lord. His steadfast love endures forever.
 
People: Blessed be the name of the Lord our God; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
 
Leader:  Write it on your hearts, bind it on your hands, and teach it to your family, friends, and neighbors. Let it be known throughout all creation, the grace of God, our holy Father, is for us. His steadfast love endures forever.
 
People: Blessed be the name of the Lord.
 
Leader: Shout it from the mountain tops, sing it by the vast sea, He is our God. And we are God’s people. Throughout the forest and deserts, in the wilderness and in the wonders of the world, spread the good news that the Lord our God has sent the Word, the only begotten Son, to be with us. His steadfast love endures forever.
 
People: Blessed be the name of the Lord.
 
Leader:  From the darkest valley and the lowliest grave, the Lord our God hears our cries, and came for us, to be with us in human flesh, and made himself for us a perfect sacrifice so that we may be saved by the same Spirit. He came to be for us, to live with us, and to dwell within us. His steadfast love endures forever.
 
People: Blessed be the name of the Lord.
 
Leader:  In all that we do, let us proclaim that by his divine will, we are free from all shame, guilt, hatred, bigotry, division, poverty, violence, hunger, greed, arrogance, pride, deception, addiction and all earthly powers that seek to enslave us. Not even death can control us or keep us from embracing the love of the Lord our God. His steadfast love endures forever.
 
All: Let us sing our hosannas. And let us all shout our praises with joy. The Lord Our God. The Lord is One. Blessed be the name of the Lord our God; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.
