Prayers: The Fifth Sunday of Lent ~ Passion Sunday
God of love,
as we travel to Jerusalem,
keep our eyes fixed on Jesus.
May our lives proclaim that Jesus is the Messiah,
the Resurrection and the Life,
so that one day we can come to your Kingdom in Heaven.
This we ask in the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
God of love,
as we travel to Jerusalem,
keep our eyes fixed on Jesus.
Anoint us with your gentle touch,
so that we can follow and praise you in this life
and one day come to your Kingdom in Heaven.
This we ask in the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Collect 51
Most merciful God,
who by the death and resurrection of your Son Jesus Christ
delivered and saved the world:
grant that by faith in him who suffered on the cross
we may triumph in the power of his victory;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
