Here’s a prayer based on John 2:13-22, the suggested gospel reading for the third Sunday of Lent, Year B (March 11, 2012).
Lenten Prayer
(inspired by John 2:13-22)
Holy God, in Jesus Christ you have built for us
an eternal house, a temple of righteousness,
a place of gracious plenty for the hungry
and abundant life for the poor in spirit.
Fill us with zeal for the body of Christ.
Overturn the tables of corruption and greed
and upset the imbalance of injustice,
so that we may worship you in spirit and truth;
through Jesus Christ, who is risen indeed.
