Lord God –
Give us the tongue of a teacher and ears of a student. May our words sustain the weary, and morning by morning, may You waken our ears to listen.
Wakened by and opened to Your presence, may we not turn backward nor hide our faces.
Rather, may we set our faces like flint…knowing that we shall not be shamed.
You are near us. Let us stand up together.
You help us. Who will declare us guilty?
Amen.
(Passion/Palm Sunday is April 10.)
