LENTEN PRAYERS
WALKING WITH JESUS

Day 10: Saturday
Mark 2:1-12

Christ Jesus, we rejoice in the deep faith that some have shown in response to your astonishing ability and undeniable authority.  We rejoice at the great lengths to which some have gone in order to bring others into your healing, liberating presence.  And we rejoice that You did not turn them away, but in compassion exercised your authority to heal and forgive.

We rejoice in your authority to heal and forgive!  And we rejoice that You have healed us in many ways by speaking your word of forgiveness to us.  

As we follow in your footsteps and minister in your name, give us discernment of those moments when a word of forgiveness is required in order to bring your healing.  Enable us to be thoughtful disciples who find creative ways to bring people into your presence so that they may experience your compassionate action for themselves.  Amen.
