Jesus Carries his Cross
John 19:17
Jesus was led away and, carrying his cross by himself, went out to what is called the Place of the Skull (in Hebrew, Golgotha).
"The poor carry the cross all the time, and Jesus carries all the poor. He has made them his cause in the world, knowing the burden laid on them by economic injustices and inequality, and the greed and sin of others--individuals, corporations, and countries. But in this age of the millenium the issue of poverty is global in its proporations and like a dry tree in the path of a wild fire waiting to explode and add fuel to the fire as it continues in its ceaseless destruction. The poverty, starvation and desperation of more than six-tenths of the world's population has become a root evil that feeds fiolence, hatred, terrorism, and nationalism." . . . excerpt from "The New Stations of the Cross" by Megan McKenna
We offer our prayers to you, our burdened Savior, because as you carry your cross, you carry the weight of all the world's sin and injustice. In your death, you took our humanness into the grave, and in your glorious resurrection, you give the world hope that we can live a new life in you!
We pray for Paulette Lawrence, for peace and strength during her sentencing hearing April 6, for God's will to be accomplished in her case, and for her family's protection.
We pray for Detris Cormier, for the healing of her soul and the renewal of her spirit. Let her know that she is never alone in her suffering, because you are with her always.
We lift up Melody Williams, Wendy Bonafair, Willie R. Lee, Clarence Barron, Debbie Williams and Harley, Henrietta Covey, Cecil Mathews, Jennifer Mulvey, Patricia Clark, Erma Trammell, Schatizi Robin Trammell, Rema Jacobs and her family, Kimberly Cooper and her children, Laura and Mark Richie and their children. In their letters, they have asked for our prayers. Provide for them all they need, loving God. Heal their brokenness, refresh them with the living water of everlasting life in the name of Jesus Christ.
Guide and strengthen our steps, and let us take up our own cross and follow you all the way to the end of this life, when we enter into your presence with joy and praise, and all our burdens will be taken away. Alleluia! Amen!
