We gather to seek God to praise the Creator to adore the Son to abide in the Spirit.
To give thanks to the Lord for He is good. God’s steadfast love endures forever
We gather on this last Sunday of Lent to share in the praise of Palm Sunday to anticipate the events of Holy Week to journey towards the cross and tomb.
To give thanks to the Lord for He is good. God’s steadfast love endures forever
We gather together bringing all the worries and wonders of the world bringing all that is heavy in our hearts or light in our souls bringing all the joys and challenges of life whatever our circumstances.
To give thanks to the Lord for He is good. God’s steadfast love endures forever
Amen
Prayer of lament
God of Creation We cry to You from the depths of creation’s destruction how long will rivers and lakes be contaminated? how long will forests be destroyed? Jeopardizing the lives of indigenous, afro and peasant families who need these resources of Your creation to enjoy a dignified life. God of creation, hear our voice.
God of Justice we cry to You from the depths of injustice and abuse how long will we be afraid to denounce the activities which weigh most heavily on families and communities who are destitute or poor? How long will our silence put countless virtuous lives at risk; our brothers and sisters whom You call us to care for and protect? God of justice, hear our voice
God of Life, We cry to You from the depths Of inhumanity and neglect How long will a lack of solidarity And absence of compassion bring pain to those who suffer hunger, disease, abandonment and loss of their rights and freedom? Forgive our selfishness and insensitivity that causes sadness and anguish in many families and communities. God of life, hear our voice.
-Moises Gonzalez, Christian Aid, Rage and Hope, SPCK 2021
Prayer for Palm Sunday
O Christ, You entered the city as a poor man not in style but simply, yet still You caused uproar, and questions everywhere; you drew the expectations of a hungry crowd, and brought buried conflicts to the light. May we, who are sometimes swayed by the crowd’s approval, and who often avoid conflict for fear of its cost to us, hold fast to the gospel of peace and justice and follow faithfully in your way of compassion and solidarity with those who are poor and excluded, wherever it may lead us. Amen.
By Kathy Galloway included in Christian Aid reflection and prayers for April 2017
Ride on Lord Jesus. Upon a colt, over cloaks, under branches – ride on Lord Jesus.
Towards a city, through its gates, past the crowds – ride on Lord Jesus.
As Hosannas fade and enemies sneer, as danger closes and friends falter – ride on Lord Jesus.
Showing the way, teaching the truth, bringing life for all. In the name of the Lord – ride on Lord Jesus.
