Prayers and Reflections

Gracious Father,
you gave up your Son
out of love for the world:
lead us to ponder the mysteries of his passion,
that we may know eternal peace
through the shedding of our Saviour's blood,
Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.

Collect for Lent 5

It is the fifth Sunday of Lent and the cross is firmly in our sights.  Passiontide has begun.  It marks the start of the final countdown to the momentous events of Holy Week.  Today, we marvel at the courage of Jesus who, on seeing the mounting opposition to his message of Good News, does not turn tail and run.  He stands firm - faces up to his deniers - and walks towards his death.  He has inspired saints and martyrs over the centuries to do the same.

May our Lord inspire the closing stages of your Lenten walk to the cross.

May he bless the sacrifices you make for him on a daily basis.

Every blessing,

Revd Katrina (Vicar)
