For courage and grace


 

A bold prayer for this first week in Lent.

 

A prayer

Lord Jesus Christ,
who for our sake drew to yourself the world’s hate,
grant us the courage to be vulnerable,
grace to expose ourselves to the furies without
      and the furies within;
and in our frailty send your holy angels
      to minister to us.
