Lent Cross 2023: Week 6

by

THE PALM BRANCH

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 palm branch on our Lenten cross, a reminder of the journey Jesus made to Jerusalem, a journey that would end in him losing his life.

We remember all who are grieving today,

thinking of those who are travelling the difficult journey of loss.

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.
