Although within us there are wounds, Lord Christ
miracle of your mysterious presence. Thus, made lighter or even set free, we are
going with you, the Christ, from one discovery to another.
Roger Schutz 1915 -
Throughout the years I have collected some prayers from Church bulletins, emails received, etc. To preserve them some, I am setting up this site so that I may also share them with others. Hope you will enjoy them as much as I have throughout the years past and the years to come!
Gracious God,
your Anointed One, on the night before he suffered,
instituted the sacrament of his body and blood.
Mercifully grant that we may receive it thankfully
in remembrance of Jesus Christ our Lord,
who in these holy mysteries
gives us a pledge of eternal life. Amen.
The Book of Common Prayer
I stand before the cross and wonder.
I stand before the cross and fear.
I kneel before the cross and weep.
I pray before the cross and rejoice.
To know the cross is to know Christ.
To feel the cross is to feel Christ.
To gaze at the cross is to gaze at Christ.
To carry the cross is to be a Christian, and not until then.
God, forgive us.
