A Good Friday Prayer

Picture from last year's Outdoor Way of the Cross by Larry Wong, Edmonton Journal.

O Christ,

we choose to love

and not to harden our hearts,

even when the incomprehensible happens.

As we remain in your presence with perseverance,

day after day,
and pray with simplicity of heart,

you come and make us into people

who are a leaven of confident trust

by the way we live.

And all that your Gospel calls us to,

all that you ask of us,

you give.

-- Brother Roger of The Taizé Community
