Welcome to the sixth week of this Lenten journey! For this Lenten season I have put together a weekly series of devotionals from the Songs and Prayers of the Taizé community. Each devotional in the series will include a Psalm, Songs from Taizé, a picture of the cross that I hoped will aid in your reflection time, Intercessions and a prayer. If you have just joined us and want to start from the beginning here's week one followed by week two, week three, week four & week five
So take a minute to reflect on this week's message.
Psalm from Psalm 130
Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord,
Lord, hear my voice!
O let your ears be attentive
to the voice of my pleading.
If you, O Lord, should mark our guilt,
Lord, who would survive?
But with you is found forgiveness:
for this we revere you.
My soul is waiting for the Lord.
I count on God’s word.
My soul is longing for the Lord
more than those who watch for daybreak.
Because with the Lord there is mercy
and fullness of redemption,
Israel indeed God will redeem
from all its iniquity.

Intercessions
Lord Christ, reveal the presence of your Kingdom in our midst.
O God, keep watch over the gate of our lips; may every hurt of this day be buried in your forgiveness.
Lord Jesus, show your light to the hearts that can no longer find the road to you.
O Christ, by your life offered to God, show us the road to life.
O Christ, remain alongside all who are undergoing a night of torment, the ill and the homeless.
O Christ, keep us from the snares of discouragement and worry.
Our eyes are turned to you, O Lord; our soul finds rest in you.
Prayer
Bless us, Christ Jesus; enable us to surrender everything to you. Amen
