Psalm 31:1-2, 9-16

In you, O Lord, I seek refuge; do not let me ever be put to shame; in your righteousness deliver me.

Incline your ear to me; rescue me speedily.

Be a rock of refuge for me, a strong fortress to save me.

Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am in distress; my eye wastes away from grief, my soul and body also.

For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing; my strength fails because of my misery, and my bones waste away.

I am the scorn of all my adversaries, a horror to my neighbours, an object of dread to my acquaintances; those who see me in the street flee from me.

I have passed out of mind like one who is dead; I have become like a broken vessel.

For I hear the whispering of many - terror all around! - as they scheme together against me, as they plot to take my life.

But I trust in you, O Lord; I say,

“You are my God.”

My times are in your hand; deliver me from the hand of my enemies and persecutors.

Let your face shine upon your servant; save me in your steadfast love.

As we commemorate and live our Lord's passion and resurrection, I ask you to find a place for FaithWorks in your Paschal observances and celebrations; in your life and parish. Please support our efforts to meet the needs of the most vulnerable among us.

In your parishes, I ask that the FaithWorks posters are visible and the FaithWorks outreach envelopes are available for everyone to take, “open and be inspired.” Even if your parish’s FaithWorks campaign does not take place until later in the year, we never know when the Holy Spirit will move someone into action.

As part of your Easter observance, please donate to ease the pain and suffering of another. Helping others is our way of proclaiming "Alleluia! Christ is risen!”

The Lord continues to work through us!
