Prayer of Intercession
(inspired by Isaiah 52)
Jesus, who knew what
it was to be despised,
who was no stranger
to suffering and infirmity,
who understood the
pain of abandonment:
be with us in our
living,
where the small
dramas play out daily,
and where we feel
great pity for ourselves.
Lord have mercy,
Christ have mercy.
Jesus, whose friends
hid their faces
and turned away when
you needed them most:
whose bruises were a
political statement,
and who was a victim
of perverted justice:
be with us in our
world, where millions
long for justice and
dignity.
Lord have mercy,
Christ have mercy.
Jesus, in this long,
long day
before you were laid
to rest,
grant to all those
whose waiting
drifts on through
long months and years,
the grace of knowing
that you
are also present to
our Good Friday stories.
Lord have mercy,
Christ
have mercy.
