Here’s a thoughtful prayer of confession and petition for Good
Friday. It was written by William
Loader.
Prayer for Good Friday
O God, you
hold a mirror before us
and we see
love and we see hate.
We see
crucifiers and we see the crucified.
Forgive us
where we have crucified love –
your love
for ourselves, for others, for you.
Do not
abandon us where we have abandoned ourselves,
where
others have abandoned us,
where we
know the pain of crucifixion and rejection and being forsaken.
Take us
from the cross to hope and new beginning.
