A Prayer for Thursday, April 2, 2015

Thirty-Eighth Day of Lent/Maundy Thursday

O God,

Attune our hearts to your way in the world
as shown to us by Jesus Christ your Son and our Lord.

Attune our hearts to your way in the world
which is the way of humility, of service, and of love.

Attune our hearts to your way in the world
which is the way of thinking more of others than of ourselves.

Attune our hearts to your way in the world
which is the way of putting the needs of others ahead of ours.

Attune our hearts to your way in the world
which is the way of emptying ourselves of
self-interest and of self-preservation so we can
love you fully and love each other sacrificially.

As our hearts become more attuned to your way in the world,
let our actions be ongoing demonstrations of your way in the world.

Then they’ll know we are Christians by our love …

Amen.
