Good Friday 2021

Woodfield Team prayer. God our Father, you long to draw all people into your love; increase in number your church   throughout the Woodfield Team, deepen us as followers and learners of Christ and give us courage to share the good news of your kingdom. We pray this in the power of your Spirit, to the glory of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

 The Collect

Eternal God,

in the cross of Jesus

we see the cost of our sin

and the depth of your love:

in humble hope and fear

may we place at his feet

all that we have and all that we are,

through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.

The Way of the Cross in St Mark’s gospel.

A suggestion:  imagine yourself into the events. What does it mean to you to be there with all the various participants? There with Jesus?

A prayer

Lord Jesus, grant us grace to live the life you give us,
to fan the sparks of hope into flames
in our own lives and in the lives of others.
Give us comfort in loneliness, strength in suffering,
and faith in your enduring love.
Lord Jesus, bless us when we are Mary and John,
in the cross, take our pain away,
and in your resurrection, bring us healing and new life. Amen
