Prayer from Scripture
Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me, yet not my will but yours be done.”
- Luke 22:42
Prayer from History
Lord, show me your mercy and delight my heart with it. Let me find you whom I so longingly seek. See! Here is the man whom the robbers seized, mishandled, and left half dead on the road to Jericho. Kindhearted Samaritan, come to my aid! I am the sheep who wandered into the wilderness – seek me and bring me home again to your fold. Do with me what you will that I may stay by you all the days of my life and praise you with all those who are with you in heaven for all eternity.
- Jerome (c. 342-420)
