A Prayer for Maundy Thursday

Dear God

On this day when you were turned over to face death on the cross, let us remember that only you are God and only you can say what is bad or good. Help us to remember that the evil done this night led to the greatest good that mankind could ever have wished for. It is only our ignorance that makes us condemn those who killed you instead of praising them as the heroes who made Easter possible.

Only you know how you perceive them, and us. So help us to know that we are here to love you and one another — not to condemn, but to love. The love that Jesus showed us every day of his life and death.

Amen
