Psalm 118:1-2, 19-29
O God, as we approach Holy Week, open to us the gates of righteousness, that we may enter into the holy space of your mercy and love. We bring only ourselves, and the desire to truly know what it means to live a thankful life. We follow One who was rejected by the world, but has become the way to life with you, life for others. As we follow him in these final days, prepare our hearts to receive the wonder of your love so full that it bursts the tombs of hate and fear. Amen.
