Prayer
of Intercession for Lent
We
pray today for all who are walking a hard journey:
for
those whose daily paths encounter barbed wire and guns;
for
those who did not want to leave home but were forced to;
for
those who set out today in search of food and water;
for
those whose journey is shattered by economic hardship;
for
those whose journey is marred by pain or despair,
and for those who faithfully journey
alongside them;
for
those who are making a move and beginning again;
for
those who are clinging on to something that has ended;
for
those who are being bullied, and for those who are bullying;
for
those who have just taken their first breath, and
for
those who today will take their last.
May
this Lenten journey, with its stories
about
the hard places of Jesus’ experience,
give
strength and courage to all
whose
journey is far from easy.
And
may it inspire us to risk Christ’s Way of love
as
we share the journey with other travelers.
We
make this prayer in his name. Amen.
