Here’s a prayer based on John 12:20-33, the suggested gospel reading for the fifth Sunday of Lent, Year B (March 25, 2012).
Lenten Prayer
(inspired by John 12:20-33)
God of thundering glory and wondrous love,
you lifted up Jesus Christ from the earth
to draw all people to your holy name.
Like grains of wheat that fall to the dust,
teach us to die—and so to bear much fruit,
giving our lives for the sake of the gospel,
following and serving Christ Jesus forever.
