PRAYERS FOR WORSHIP
March 17, 2024
Greeting
Come, you who are discouraged,
to find joy.
Come, you who are heavy with guilt,
to find forgiveness.
Come, you who are tired,
to find power.
Come, you who are dying,
to find life.
Come, you who are doubting,
to find faith.
Penitential Prayer
Forgive us, Lord, if we have
given without loving,
touched without caring,
shared without feeling,
reprimanded without helping
and
instructed without showing.
In short, forgive us if our keeping of the Law has been
a keeping of the letter only, without the loving spirit
of the heart.
Blessing
Go forth, now,
with the law written upon your hearts,
love written in your eyes,
and happiness written upon your faces.
