Another Good Friday Prayer

God who created us

Suffers because of us

god who died upon the Cross

suffers for us

God who dwells within us

Suffers with us

And in God’s suffering we find hope

God, our suffering God

Your story brings us salvation

Without you the horrors of human suffering

Would be unbearable

Your story of life, death and resurrection

gives life meaning

Because of your suffering

a new world has broken into ours

Your suffering frees us from prison

Your suffering fills the hungry with good things

your suffering frees us to live in love, joy and peace

In your eternal resurrection world
