LENTEN PRAYER

Jesus, Temple,

and cleanser of temples,

cleanse my inner temple,

turn me and all my house

into a house of prayer.

Jesus, Passover,

pass over my sins,

but not over my house,

nor my work, nor all

the people in my life.

Jesus, Cross,

hanging high above
all the crosses

of the world
help me to help others

as they too make the

way of the cross.

Jesus, Grain of Wheat

that died and was buried

in the earth,

help me to die to self,

so as to be like you:

daily bread for others.
