I found it particularly helpful today, so I share it with you.
Saving God, I stand amazed when I consider that Jesus
counted it all joy to go to the cross. On this day, when he did so, teach me to
find joy in things I would tend to avoid or even reject. Forgive me for trying
to define my Christian life in terms of the things that are pleasant, quick,
and easy—especially in relation to (you name those persons or situations ).
Teach me the joy of accomplishing
your will when it can only be done through painful, slow, and challenging ways.
Deliver me from a spirituality of entertainment, and replace it with one of
engagement. Give me your graced ability to accept the sound of hosannas or the
hammering of nails. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
