LENTEN PRAYERS 2018: PRAYING THE DAILY GOSPEL

THURSDAY 2
Mark 2:1-12

Jesus, we rejoice in the energy and tenacity with which some people have worked to bring others into your forgiving and healing presence. Fill us with such audacious faith! Fill us with such compassion! Enable us to be tenacious in seeking healing and liberation for others.

We rejoice that You are able to speak healing. We rejoice that You are able to declare forgiveness. And we rejoice that You are able to discern which word is needed in the moment of personal encounter. Give us such discernment as we seek to minister to people who are wounded in body or spirit or both.  

May we be agents of forgiveness and healing, offering your gifts with the same liberality with which You have offered them to us. Let any praise that we elicit be directed only to You. Amen.
