Christ –
You are the rock from whom we drink. May we join our ancestors in drinking from You, being under Your cloud, and passing through the sea.
Guide us as we move through the wilderness, so we are not struck down.
Forgive us when we desire evil, engage idolatry, indulge abusive behavior, and put You to the test.
As the ends of the ages come upon us, may we watch out, so we do not fall. May we remember that what we experience is common to everyone. And may we trust Your faithfulness that provides the way out so we may endure.
Amen.
(The Third Sunday in Lent is March 20.)
