Prayers: Wednesday in Holy Week
God of love,
as we travel to to the Cross,
keep our eyes fixed on Jesus.
Forgive us when we let other people down,
when we are weak and betray you.
This we ask in the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
At Holy Communion blessed bread and wine is shared, by which we receive the body and blood of Jesus Christ. The congregation gives thanks for Jesus’ life, his death and resurrection and his continuing presence. See also Eucharist.
Prayer sustains our human relationship with God and may involve words (formal or informal) or be silent. Prayer can involve adoration (‘I love you’), confession (‘sorry’), thanksgiving and supplication (‘please’).
