Here’s a prayer of remembrance written by William Loader for a Good
Friday worship service.
Prayer
O God,
all our
sin, all our hatred, all our violence,
all our
apathy, all our convenient neglect,
came
together in that dark hour
when they
snuffed out the light of your goodness,
when they
crucified your Son, our Lord.
And we come
to remember.
O God,
all your
love, all your compassion,
all your
goodness, all your forgiveness,
came together
in that life and that dying,
your
undying and unending love,
when they
crucified you Son, our Lord.
And we
remember.
O God,
all of his
story, all of human history,
all our
story, repeats itself
where hate
meets love, where injustice meets justice,
where
despair meets hope, death meets life,
and we dare
to believe we were there
when they
crucified your Son, our Lord
and that
this is none other than the way also to truth and life.
And we
remember. Amen
