March 29

Palm Sunday

A prayer for Holy Week from Caryll Houselander

By Your heaviness and fear

in Gethsemane,

comfort the oppressed

and those who are afraid.

By Your loneliness,

facing the Passion

while the Apostles slept,

comfort those who face evil alone

while the world sleeps.

By Your persistent prayer,

in anguish of anticipation,

strengthen those

who shrink from the unknown.

By Your humility,

taking the comfort of angels,

give us grace to help

and to be helped by one another,

and in one another

to comfort You, Jesus Christ.

Amen.
