Let us love one another
Prayer after Communion
for Maundy Thursday
Holy God, source of all love,
on the night of his betrayal
Jesus gave his disciples
a new commandment,
to love one another as he loved them.
Write this commandment in our hearts;
give us the will to serve others as he was the servant of all,
who gave his life and died for us, yet is alive and reigns
with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
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!
