BIDDING PRAYERS – PALM SUNDAY
As we stand in spirit at the
foot of his Cross, alongside Our Lady,
But in the darkness of this
moment, we know that there is victory here, the victory of God’s love, a
love that nothing at all, no torment, no treachery, not even death by
crucifixion, can ever diminish…
We adore You, O Christ, and we
bless You… because
by your holy Cross You have redeemed the world…
We contemplate the Sacred
Heart of Jesus, torn open by sin, and pouring forth the baptismal waters of new
life and the blood of the Eucharist…
By the power of that love in
your Sacred Heart, Lord Jesus, we pray for peace, peace in our hearts and peace
in our world…
The many conflicts we hear
about today indicate an increasing clash between the civilizations, cultures
and religions of the world. May the
Cross, which broke down the barriers between man and God, be powerful also in
bringing mankind together in harmony and peace.
We adore You, O Christ, and we
bless You… because
by your holy Cross You have redeemed the world…
Jesus, our Saviour, You have
entered fully into the cruellest of our human situations.
O tortured One,
stand beside all those being tortured in our world today;
O suffering Servant of God,
help those unjustly deprived of their liberty,
O You who were falsely
accused, be with all suffering miscarriages of justice,
O dying One,
be with those who are in their last agony, be with the bereaved and the
broken-hearted.
And as the Cross is raised up
in their lives and ours, so may we recognise it as the means of glory and the
promise of everlasting life….
We adore You, O Christ, and we
bless You… because
by your holy Cross You have redeemed the world…
We ask Mary, whose deepest
sorrow has since been turned
into highest joy, to pray for us. Hail
Mary...
