A daily prayer during this COVID-19 crisis

During these difficult days, Bishop Sudarshana Devadhar and the members of the Extended Cabinet are sharing a daily prayer based on the Revised Common Lectionary for the week.
You are welcome to use these in worship or in your own devotions.

Today’s prayer

​
O God of the Last Supper 
God of the Cross 
And God of the Empty Tomb 
We come before you now and we pause. 
 
We inhale the scent of snow white Easter lilies. 
We see the rain as it falls in veils and sheets of April showers.
And we listen. 
 
Holy Week has passed. 
But how we long to live by the marvelous story we have heard.
 
Let us remain ever beside you at the table of the Last Supper.
Show us who is hungry. 
And give us the courage to offer them bread from your table.
Show us who is thirsty. 
And give us the strength to lift up the cup of your love. 
 
Most of all, show us how to linger at the table, serving others--
Doing ALL that we do 
In remembrance of You, 
And the way You were when You walked this earth. 
 
We lift these simple, limited words 
Up to you, O God. 
 
Amen
 
By Erin M. ClineFamily and Community Ministries at Baylor University.
