We begin our prayers today in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

This past Sunday was Palm Sunday and we entered into the memory experience of the Passion of Jesus as he went to the cross.  This is the day Jesus enters Jerusalem to much cheering and then things change. 

So, we begin the sacred time of Holy Week.

Let us pray the Grail Prayer:

Loving Jesus,

We give you our hands to do your work.

We give you our feet to go your way.

We give you our eyes to see as you do.

We give you our tongues to speak your words.

We give you our minds that you may think in us.

We give you our spirit that you may pray in us.

Above all,

We give you our hearts that you may love in us our loving God and all people.

We give you our whole selves that you may grow in us,

so that it is you, Loving Jesus,

who lives and works and prays in us.

We close our prayer in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
