Loving Father,
as we come closer
to the final week of Lent,
the Cross of Christ gets clearer;
preparing for Easter
is facing and approaching,
embracing and owning
the Cross of Christ;
hence, grant us the courage
and strength to continue this journey
in Jesus with his Cross:
The wicked said among themselves, thinking not aright: “Let us beset the just one, because he is obnoxious to us; he sets himself against our doings, reproaches us for transgressions of the law and charges us with violations of our training… Let us see whether his words be true; let us find out what will happen to him… Let us condemn him to a shameful death; for according to his own words, God will take care of him.”
Wisdom 2:1, 12, 17, 20
Like Jesus,
let us overcome our fears
and continue to come to you,
to speak your words,
to do your works
amid the many people
"blinded by wickedness";
indeed, life is a daily Lent,
a passing over from every trial
because you are, O Lord,
"close to the brokenhearted."
Amen.
