Lent Cross 2023: Week 2

by

THE TOWEL AND BASIN

On our journey through lent, may these symbols be reminders of the road Jesus took,

the road of pain and suffering, the path of self-giving love.

May they also remind us of the suffering of the world and challenge us to respond.

Today we place a towel and basin on our Lenten cross,

reminders of Jesus’ humility, the way he washed the feet of his friends.

We remember all who experience homelessness today,

thinking of those for whom basic needs, such as a place to wash and sleep are not available.

Lord Jesus,

as you suffered, so many in our world still suffer today.

Challenge us to make a difference through our actions and our prayers.

Amen.
