Savior –
May we live according to Your example.
Forgive us when we live as enemies of Your cross, Your passion, Your love. Forgive us when destruction is our end, the belly is our god, shame is our glory, and earthly things consume our minds.
Remind us that our citizenship is in heaven, and by Your power, transform our individual and collective body of humiliation into Your body of glory.
In the name of the One in whom we stand firm, we pray.
Amen.
(The Second Sunday in Lent is March 13.)
