Lord of every pilgrim heart,
may I journey with You today
remembering those
who plotted against You;
who betrayed You;
who shared the Passover with You;
who argued with You about who came first with God;
who denied You;
who prayed with You;
who left You alone;
who arrested You;
who denied You again;
who beat You and mocked You –
that my own life may again
be propelled to a deeper understanding
of the One who holds us all,
through Your surprising Spirit,
alive in our midst.
