Action Prayer Palm Sunday 24 March 2024

Our readings this weekend are foreshadowing Christ's coming passion later this week.

"The Chief priests...incited the crowd..." A modern day version of that phrase is when anyone, incites others using an us vs. them argument, mentality, slogan, cartoon etc. That thinking, that logic incites hate. It's the antithesis of Jesus' two commandments. It is possible to discuss opposing viewpoints without demonising the other. It takes practice. Definitely a pit-fall to avoid. Our Action Prayer this week is as we join in the variety of prayers and rituals moving towards Easter, we really listen to how Jesus handles opposition. Perhaps ask Jesus to help us lose the mind-set that opposition requires conflict. Like Pope Francis recommends, we can walk forward together and hold different or opposing ideas and opinions.

O Prince of Peace,

Once more we hear the guns of war,
Once more we see the faces
Of frightened children.
We pray for the people of Ukraine,
That they may be granted peace;
We pray for the people of Russia,
That they may demand peace;
We pray for our country,
That we may be a positive part
Of peace making in this world.
O Prince of Peace,
Lead us from this dark time
To a deeper understanding
Of the global human family,
So all may break bread together
In the secure embrace of peace.
Amen
