Good Friday Prayer: Alone

Here’s a prayer for Good Friday written by Christine Sine.

Prayer for Good Friday

Jesus is on his way toward the Cross.  
His disciples have fled and he is alone,
alone with our suffering and our pain.  
Alone to face the wrath of the Roman Empire and the fury of the crowd.  
Alone and feeling abandoned by God.  
Yet not alone for all of humanity walks with him.  
We stumble and fall as he did.  
We are abused and spat upon.  
We feel despised and rejected –
by ourselves, by others, by our world.  
God have mercy.
Free us from our prisons and bring us new life.
