THE GOSPEL

Luke 23:35-43

Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.

Christ,
with your last breath
you cared for the lost and lonely.

Please
remember us.
Call all of us to mind,
each and every one of us,
when you come into your kingdom!
We entrust ourselves, with Dismas, to you,
to your infinite love and mercy, and
like him, we ask simply:
remember
us.


THE FIRST READING

2 Samuel 5:1-3

You shall shepherd my people, Israel.

Guide us into
 your kingdom, O Jesus.
Put us on the path of peace.

Raise us as we fall. And hold us awhile.
If we run off to a wild, dark place,
then please pull us
back.

Watch over us 
with love. 

And shepherd others 
through us. 


THE SECOND READING

Colossians 1:12-20

For in him all the fullness was pleased to dwell.

King Christ,

tell about the “fullness”
that is “pleased to dwell” in you!
Does everything beautiful reside in you?
How about wisdom and endless capacity to forgive?
Or the fullness of your gentle love that cradles all the world?
 
Please grant us just a small
share of your love.
Let it come to
dwell in
us.
