Tuesday of Holy Week
Jeremiah 11:19
But I was like a gentle lamb
led to the slaughter.
And I did not know it was against me
that they devised schemes, saying,
“Let us destroy the tree with its fruit,
let us cut him off from the land of the living,
so that his name will no longer be remembered!”
O God, you call us to seek you and the kingdom you have promised. Help us to answer your call with greater zeal. Hear us as we pray: Lord, be gracious and bless us.
• Enliven the faith of all who lead your Church and renew them in their ministry of service.
• Draw Christians together in the bond of peace of love, and make them one in the power of your Spirit.
• Turn us away from our selfishness, and renew our desire to serve you and each other.
• Heal our anguish and pain we have caused others, and forgive our neglect and unconcern.
Pray as Jesus taught us to pray:
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.
