I was especially moved by the Intercessions from this morning’s office, and thought that those who don’t pray the Divine Office would profit from meditating on them also, especially since it’s Friday (although they are importantant to keep in mind always during Lent).
Anyhow, here they are:
Thanks be to Christ the Lord, who brought us life by his death on the cross. With our whole heart let us ask him:
By your death raise us to life.
Teacher and Savior, you have shown us your fidelity and made us a new creation by your passion,
–keep us from falling again into sin.
Help us to deny ourselves today,
–and not deny those in need.
May we receive this day of penance as your gift,
–and give it back to you through works of mercy.
Master our rebellious hearts,
–and teach us generosity.
