Then the Jews said, “See how he loved him!” (John 11:36)
Ever-Loving God, today I pray that we feel your love around us. I pray that your kindness, compassion, forgiveness and grace are felt deeply, realizing that you love us no matter what. Your love comes without conditions and always with hope. Thank you for crying with us, for laughing and walking with us, and for standing firm with us when we need your strength. May your light carry us through all our days. God be with us. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes
of the blind man have kept this man from dying?” (John 11:37)
Today is International Day for the Right to the Truth Concerning Human Rights Violations and for the Dignity of Victims
Loving God, the history of our world is full of human rights violations that were normalized in their time. Some abused their power, some chose evil over good, and many suffered or died. As we learn the truths of history, help us to be mindful of context but to also not give into the mindset that it was okay for the time. Guide us to speak and stand up when someone is being harmed in any way, so that history never repeats itself in these ways. God, push us into goodness, equality and equity, and for a love that we long to understand. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Jesus wept. (John 11:35)
Loving God, on the 25th of each month we think of those we have lost and those who are grieving. Remind us that you are with us in comfort and peace and that our loved ones are no longer suffering. May they be the guardian angels we need as we live out our days. Help us to live with their hearts and values through our days. And God, help us to normalize talking about those who have passed away. Just because they are gone from our sight, doesn’t mean they have left our hearts and lives. May they live forever in the saying of their names. God be with us. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?” He replied, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.’” So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover. (Matthew 26:17-19)
Loving God, I hold the traditions and rituals of our faith close to my heart. Jesus is celebrating his traditions and rituals in community while knowing his earthly life was coming to an end. We give thanks for celebrations and his participation within them. We give thanks for the communities that embrace him along the way. May our hearts embrace Jesus through all the ups and downs of life, even when things are especially hard. God be with us. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

And while they were eating, he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me.” (Matthew 26:21)
Forgiving God, we thank you for the times when we fall short of the hopes and dreams you have for us. Thank you for the gift of Jesus and that he knows our hearts so deeply. Thank you that he walks with us and lives within us, even when we’re not at our best. Thank you for this story, as Jesus still sat and ate with someone who betrays him. You are a God of second chances, giving us many opportunities to do and be better. May we take advantage of those opportunities to learn and grow and to be better as a community. God be with us. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.” (Matthew 26:26)
Creating God, Thank you for the gift of family and the gift of this beautiful Earth. We pause today to honour Mother Earth in Earth Hour today. Help us to slow down, to listen, and to remember what truly matters. Bless our families with love, patience, and unity. Teach us to care for one another with kindness and grace. And as we sit in Earth Hour, renew in us a light as we commit to protect and cherish your creation. God be with us. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
March 29, 2026: Palm Sunday
A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Hosanna in the highest heaven!” (Matthew 21:8-9)
Omnipresent God, as we remember Jesus’ entry on Palm Sunday, fill our hearts with joy and humble praise. May welcome you not just in words, but in the way we love, serve, and forgive. May we be eager to share your love and light with all who live in darkness or despair. May we walk with you this Holy Week, faithful and full of hope. God be with us and we will be with you always. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
