O Lord Jesus, on that day when you entered the city on a donkey,
the people cheered triumphantly, but you wept. Forgive us when we
have triumphalistically celebrated our programs while ignoring the
sin and brokenness of our world. Teach us your compassion and your
tears. |

Good Friday |
As the passion of our Lord is dramatized on the big screens of our
cities, help us, O God, to enter the mystery that just as you were
present in the suffering and abandonment of our Lord, so you are with
us in our suffering and in the suffering of this world. |
