Prayer for the Week (March 29-April 4)
Let us pray for the courage to embrace the world in the name of Christ: Father in heaven, the love of your Son led him to accept the suffering of the cross so that we might find life in divine forgiveness. Change our selfishness into self-giving. May we embrace the world you have given us and transform the darkness of its pain into the life and joy of Easter. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
