Let Us Pray for Holy Week  

Lord, Jesus Christ, You became human and took on the realities of humanity in our world. During Your life on earth, you gave hope, perspective and salvation to many. Your words are challenging, uplifting, encouraging and guiding. At the end of your earthly life here in our world, you took upon yourself all suffering and made the cross a sign of hope. At this time when the whole world is suffering, when people are isolated and left to themselves, when people mourn for their loved ones, where people are sacrificing their physical and psychological strength to help others, we pray in solidarity and entrust ourselves to you.

Amen.

— Adapted from prayers by Sister Ulrike M., SDS – Austria
