Grant us, O God, the faith to pray: Come, Lord Jesus. Help us this day. For yours is the glory, the honor, the might, but ours is the sorrow of this long, hard night. Feed us from your table. Fill us from your wounds. That your faithful suffering would empower us to trust that on this day we are not forgotten or condemned but only being further thrust into the story of a redemption that nothing can rust, of the kindest Parent, who is coming back soon. Amen.
