Lenten Prayers
Walking With Jesus
Day 9: Friday
Mark 1:40-45
Christ Jesus, even though
You came to inaugurate God’s reign among us, You did not hold yourself aloof
from those who were plagued by sickness or oppressing spirits. You were neither afraid nor withdrawn in
their presence, but made yourself available to them in great freedom,
generosity, and power.
When the man with a
frightful skin disease came to you and inquired of your willingness to heal,
You demonstrated your compassion by both touching him and speaking your
effective word. You broke the social
isolation in which the man had lived.
You healed his disease. You
enabled him to return to his community as a full participant in its social and
spiritual life.
We rejoice in your fearless
compassion. We rejoice in your gentle
touch and powerful word. We celebrate
your remarkable healing ability as we walk with You. Amen.
