Prayers: Maundy Thursday
God of the Universe,
You sent Jesus to prepare for us the way of peace.
Help us to hear Jesus’ prayer,
that we may all be one,
as you, Father, are one with Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
now and for ever. Amen.
God of love,
as we travel to the Cross,
keep our eyes fixed on Jesus.
Help us to be truly humble people,
dedicated to following Jesus,
our Lord and Teacher.
This we ask in the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Collect 55
God our Father,
you have invited us to share in the supper
which your Son gave to his Church
to proclaim his death until he comes:
may he nourish us by his presence,
and unite us in his love;
who is alive and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
