Liturgy/ Holy Hour Outline

Friday 21 May 2010

Opening Responses
Reader              Jesus said, ‘When two or three gather in my name,
I am there with them.’
ALL  BE WITH US, LORD JESUS
AS WE GATHER IN YOUR NAME:
BE PRESENT TO US.
 
Reader Jesus asks, ‘Do you love me?’
ALL YES LORD, YOU KNOW WE LOVE YOU.
 
Reader And the Lord asks that we show our love
in feeding his lambs –
in feeding his sheep.
ALL TEACH US TO SHOW OUR LOVE MORE DEEPLY
IN ENSURING THAT THE SMALL, THE WEAK AND THE VULNERABLE
ARE TREATED AS THE MOST CHERISHED OF GOD’S CHILDREN:
THE PRECIOUS SHEEP OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD’S FLOCK.
 
Scripture Reading - John 21: 15-19

Christ have mercy
Lord have mercy

Good Shepherd, in bleak places
Good Shepherd, leading your people
to living water
Good Shepherd, finding safe pasture for your flock
Good Shepherd, defender of the weak
Good Shepherd, leader of the strong
Good Shepherd, calling each by name
Good Shepherd...
HAVE MERCY ON US
     
In the hunger of loss
In the hunger of loneliness
In the hunger of despair
In the hunger of shame
In the hunger of humiliation
In the hunger of being disbelieved
In the hunger of victimisation
In the hunger for survival
In the hunger for healing
In the hunger for courage
In the hunger for faith
In the hunger for hope
In the hunger for love

In the hunger for...

FILL US, LORD
