Here’s a prayer of petition for Palm Sunday. It was written by Bruce Prewer.
The Mercy of Justice
Where are things heading, God of wisdom?
Unless you are a God of justice and judgement,
the
future of this arrogant world is dismal.
Unless you are a God of grace and mercy,
our
place in your future is hopeless.
With the anger of a temple cleansing,
overthrow
greed and scatter our indifference.
With the suffering of your crucified Son,
forgive
our sins and heal our diseases.
With the mercy of justice and the justice
of
your unique mercy, lead us on towards
the
consummation of your kingdom.
You alone are our help and hope.
You alone are our health and happiness.
Through Jesus Christ our Saviour. Amen!
