Collect for fifth Sunday of Lent:
:
Dear Lord, you were spit upon, jeered, beaten and crucified for our
sake. Teach us dear Lord to put you
first in our lives, and humble us that serving you truly here we would attain
greatness in your sight. This we ask
through Adonai Yeshua haMoshiach who lives and reigns with you and Ruach
haKodesh, one God in glory everlasting.
Amen. (Lenten array or rose)
Monday: How easy it is to forsake you, O Lord.
Forgive us for not recognizing your bounteous blessings to us. Help us to see
the constant reminders of your presence in our lives. Help us to walk in the
faith you have given to us through HaMoshiach our Lord. Amen.
Tuesday: Merciful God, we try to do your will,
which is to love kindness and mercy, and to walk humbly before you. We have
come to realize that it is not possible by might nor power but by your Holy
Spirit. Help us not to lose heart but to be encouraged by your words that
constantly sustain us by knowing that you are still in control. Amen.
Wednesday: Don't you ever grow weary of our bad
habits and weaknesses, O Lord? Why are you so patient with us? You believe that
we can change. And your faith in us is just the thing to soften our hearts.
Make it so, O Lord! Amen.
Thursday: Dear God, sometimes it is so hard to
let go of old pain and resentment. Help us today to remember your forgiveness,
so when we are reminded of the hurt others have done, we can offer that which
we have already received. Amen.
Heavenly
Father, your servant Richard of Chichester truly loved you and was so humble,
that he eschewed riding horseback. Grant
that we may follow his example and see you more clearly, love you more dearly
and follow you more dearly day by day.
Through Yeshuah haMoshiach who lives and reigns with you and the Ruach
haKodesh, one God in glory everlasting.
Amen. (white)
Friday: O Lord, if only we could listen to people and
not push our own agendas
on them! Is it possible to
slow down, listen, and care about the person speaking? Can we allow a diversity
of opinions and sense the value of the individual? Calm us down and enfold us
in your patient demeanor. Amen.
Dear Lord, you
raised up Martin Luther King, Jr. to challenge how we lived in faith and how we
related to people who were different.
Grant that when we are in error, we would repent, and make amends. This we ask through Yeshuah haMoshiach, who
lives and reigns with you and Ruach haKodesh, one God in glory
everlasting. Amen. (red)
Saturday: All
powerful God, there is nothing beyond your understanding or that you cannot do.
With a word spoken by your mouth or by a touch of your hands you can restore
the sick to health and the dead to life. Make us sensitive to that miraculous
touch so we can be healed both spiritually and physically. Through Christ's
name we pray. Amen.
