Spread Wings [Lent 2C - Luke 13:31-35]
The Rev. Jeremiah Williamson Luke 13:31-35 Prayer before the Sermon: Canticle Q: A Song of Christ’s Goodness St. Anselm of Canterbury Jesus, as a mother you gather your people to you; * you are gentle with us as a mother with her children. Often you weep over our sins and our pride, * tenderly you draw us from hatred and judgment. You comfort us in sorrow and bind up our wounds, * in sickness you nurse us and with pure milk you feed us. Jesus, by your dying, we are born to new life; * by your anguish and labor we come forth in joy. Despair turns to hope through your sweet goodness; * through your gentleness, we find comfort in fear. Your warmth gives life to the dead, * your touch makes sinners righteous. Lord Jesus, in your mercy, heal us; * in your love and tenderness, remake us. In your compassion, bring grace and forgiveness, * for the beauty of heaven, may your love prepare us. Amen. [1] Spread Wings This was the cit...
