Palm Sunday Prayer

by Christine Sine April 13, 2011
written by Christine Sine
Palm Sunday draws near and my thoughts are focused on Jesus entry into Jerusalem and the even more amazing entry into our hearts.  I prayers this morning were inspired by these reflections and my growing passion to follow Jesus with all my heart and soul and being. Let us enter the city with God today Let us sing hosanna to our king To the son of God riding on a donkey With shepherds and prostitutes, With the blind and the leper With the abandoned and oppressed Let us shout for joy at Christ's coming And follow the One who welcomes the sinner and dines with the outcast Let us touch and see as God draws near Riding in Triumph towards the Cross [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="468"] Jan Hynes, Entering the city[/caption] More of Jan Hynes Holy week images here More resources for Holy Week - these lists were updated in 2014 Resources for Palm Sunday: Resources for Maundy Thursday: Resources for Good Friday: Stations of the Cross: Resources for Celebrating Holy Week With Kids:

Another Prayer for Ash Wednesday

by Christine Sine March 8, 2011
written by Christine Sine
I already feel that I have entered into the spirit of Lent.  It is a painful season, especially as I remember the death of those I knew in Christchurch.  Here is another prayer to begin the season. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust All that is not of God must die All that is crushed will be restored All that is lost will be made new God may we repent of ways that do not serve you And admit to the tensions that tell us where we need to change Christ is coming walking towards the cross God may we see him clearly Pouring out love Pouring out mercy Pouring out peace May we kneel before him in humble adoration May we take up our  cross and follow And walk with Christ into the ways of life

Ash Wednesday Prayer 2011

by Christine Sine March 4, 2011
written by Christine Sine
This year I was not sure if I would be able to write a prayer for Ash Wednesday.  With the MSA website attacked by a virus that precipitated us launching a new website earlier than expected, plus the garden seminar at the Mustard Seed House tomorrow and Tom heading to San Diego for an important meeting, I have been much busier than anticipated leading up to this season.  And writing prayers like this is always something that I find takes time for reflection and writing. However this morning I realized that this is a task too important to let pass by or in Ann Voskamp's words too urgent to live fast.  So I wrote this prayer for Ash Wednesday but plan to use it over the next week to help me focus on the season of Lent.  So let us pray
God may we remember All of life is held together with nails Piercing flesh of the son of man May we remember and give thanks God may we remember The power of sin and death are forever ended Hung upon a cross and crucified May we remember and give thanks God may we remember The bread of life broken for us That we may eat and filled with abundance of life May we remember and give thanks God may we remember God's blood poured out for us The deep wounds of love suffered for us May we remember and give thanks God may we remember ashes on foreheads And kneel before the one whose love knows no end With humbled hearts and repentant spirits May we remember and give thanks God may we remember we are but dust And walk together into tomorrow's unkowns Breaking bars, building bridges, setting captives free May we remember and give thanks God may we remember and give thanks Let us take up our cross and follow Believing that in Christ all things work together for good May we remember and give thanks

A New Year's prayer to welcome 2011

by Christine Sine December 31, 2010
written by Christine Sine
i am sitting at home on a beautiful frosty winter's morning looking out at the snow covered, sun drenched mountains.  it is already New year's day in Australia and my thoughts and prayers are still with my family in Sydney.  However I am also ready to welcome in this new year with a sense of God's eternal presence and thought that I would share yet another prayer with you that came to me while we were travelling God is the eternal rock From year's beginning to its end God is faithful In each day God is present In each action God comes close Through all eternity God is trustworthy Yesterday, today and forever Sustaining, enlivening, making all things new God is the eternal rock

New Year's Eve Prayer for 2011

by Christine Sine December 30, 2010
written by Christine Sine
I am sitting in the airport in San Francisco waiting for our flight to Seattle.  The new year is almost here and I have been reflecting on my hopes and expectations for the time that lies ahead.  I find that his prayer, adapted from one I wrote last year, has really helped me to focus. A new year coming and God is with us In loving, in caring, in hoping and expecting, God is with us and never lets us go God live in us, God live with us, God live through us God keep us faithful through the days that lie ahead God keep us caring as we see the pain that fills your world God keep us serving as we seek to do your will God live in us, God live with us, God live through us God keep us loving toward neighbours near and far God keep us trusting through the uncertainties of life God keep us sharing from your generous abundance God live in us, God live with us, God live through us Amen.

by Christine Sine December 22, 2010
written by Christine Sine
For those who love to both begin and end the day with prayer particularly during this season here are the prayers that we will be using over the next few weeks Evening Christmas liturgy Let we join in the dance of God this night, And sing our praises to Christ our Saviour. Let us celebrate the joy of Christ’s birth, And shout aloud: Emmanuel, God is with us! Pause to light the Christ candle and remind yourself of the many names by which Christ is known in the Bible.  Allow time for each person to call out the names that are most meaningful to them) Lord Jesus Christ, A thousand names cannot confine you You are King of Kings and Lord of Lord Wonderful counselor, Prince of Peace, Saviour, Restorer and Redeemer You are the Lamb who was slain, Lord Jesus Christ, A thousand names cannot confine you God of justice and truth how can we know you? You are majestic and holy, abounding in love and faithfulness You are the source of life, our provider You walk beside us as companion and friend Lord Jesus Christ, A thousand names cannot confine you God of glory, God of power you care for the vulnerable Protector of widows and orphans, Compassionate to the poor, comforter of the downcast You heal all our diseases and bring us wholeness Lord Jesus Christ, A thousand names cannot confine you God in whom we trust, you are always with usl You are all things good, known yet unknowable You are the way, the truth and the life, We worship you Lord Jesus Christ, A thousand names cannot confine you Read the evening psalms from the daily lectionary   Lord Jesus Christ, your name is proclaimed in all the earth. You were God almighty yet you made yourself nothing You came as a vulnerable child to live amongst us. You were God all powerful Yet you came as a humble servant You were faithful as a son, You went through death so that we might find life Your blood was shed so that we could be redeemed Your body was broken so that we might be made whole Therefore God has exalted you and given you the name above all names So that one day all peoples will proclaim you As Jesus Christ the Lord God who calls us all by name Have mercy upon us Christ who invites us to share life as one family Have mercy on us Spirit who welcomes us home together into God’s eternal world Grant us peace Our Father who art in heaven hallowed be thy name.  Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.  Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.  Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom the power and the glory, for ever and ever.  Amen.   Jesus, as members of your family, help us to proclaim your names in all the earth Make us instruments of your life today Through our words and actions help us to proclaim you as saviour and redeemer to all peoples Lord make us instruments of your love today Where there is war may we proclaim you as the Prince of Peace Lord make us instruments of your peace today Where there is despair may we proclaim you as the God of all comfort Lord make us instruments of your comfort today Where there is sickness may we proclaim you as the great physician Lord make us instruments of your healing today Where there is oppression may we proclaim you as the God who brings freedom Lord make us instruments of your freedom today Where there is hunger may we proclaim you as the God of abundant provision Lord make us instruments of your generosity today Jesus may we be proclaimers of your names through all the earth Lord make us instruments of your kingdom today The Wonderful Counsellor guide you, The Mighty God protect you, The Everlasting Father be with you. The Prince of Peace inspire you, And the blessings of God be upon you, now and evermore.   Amen

Morning Prayers for the Christmas Season

by Christine Sine December 21, 2010
written by Christine Sine
[caption id="attachment_5768" align="alignnone" width="350"]nativity - Lu Lan China nativity - Lu Lan China[/caption] With Christmas just a few days away I thought that some of you might be interested in morning and evening prayers for the Christmas season.  I thought that I would post these in separate posts so here are the morning prayers God of joy and celebration God of love and mercy God of peace and righteousness We sing aloud and dance with the angels. The ruler of all worlds, the shepherd of creation Jesus Christ has entered our world Our Saviour Christ has come into the world, Not in power, not in might, but in the tenderness of love, He comes as the promise of life hidden in a mother’s womb. In this season of God with us we celebrate with the angels We are graced by the wonder of God’s presence We are filled with the tenderness of Christ’s love,   (Pause to light Advent and Christ candles)   Love and faithfulness meet together, Righteousness and peace kiss each other, Faithfulness springs forth from the earth Shout aloud Hallelujah! God’s faithfulness comes down from heaven God has kept his promise, the Saviour has been born and a new world begun . In this season of God with us we rejoice for God’s salvation has come The redeemer of all creation has come to earth And we catch glimpses of God’s Messiah healed world Shout aloud Hallelujah! God’s faithfulness comes down from heaven God has kept his promise, the Saviour has been born and a new world begun . This is the time we believe once more that perfect love casts out fear That generosity transforms scarcity into abundance That righteousness overcomes oppression with justice Shout aloud Hallelujah! God’s faithfulness comes down from heaven God has kept his promise, the Saviour has been born and a new world begun . We are graced by Christ’s presence and filled with his love May we become bearers of God’s light, And go out to transform our troubled world. Shout aloud Hallelujah! God’s faithfulness comes down from heaven God has kept his promise, the Saviour has been born and a new world begun . Scriptures of the day from the daily lectionary The whole earth shouts with joy to God The world declares God’s praise. Praise to the compassionate and gracious One, Who sent the son to dwell among us. Praise to the incarnate One, Jesus Christ our Redeemer Who fulfills God’s covenant of love and compassion to all humankind Praise to the indwelling one, the Holy Spirit the giver of life Who proclaims God’s mercy and justice throughout the earth Praise to the three in One Praise to the One in Three Praise to God on high Our Father who art in heaven hallowed be thy name.  Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.  Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.  Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom the power and the glory, for ever and ever.  Amen. Jesus you come In the voice of the poor In the hurting of the sick In the anguish of the oppressed Open our eyes that we may see you Jesus you come In the weakness of the vulnerable In the questions of the doubting In the fears of the dying Open our ears that we might hear you Jesus you come In the celebration of the saints In the generosity of the faithful In the compassion of the caring Open our hearts that we might embrace you   Almighty God whose great love and compassion came into our world in the person of your incarnate son, Jesus Christ, plant in every heart your concern and care for all humankind.  May the light of Christ ignite our hearts and shine out brightly from our lives, proclaiming your salvation to all the earth. May the light of God shine on us, May the love of Christ shine in us, May the life of the Spirit shine through us. This day and evermore Amen
