Maundy Thursday, Additional Collect (Redub)


God of compassion,
in Jesus you shared in our humanity.
In Jesus you drank the cup of suffering
that too many also drink.
In Jesus you felt the agony of
a world longing for liberation.
May we who share your cup,
keep watch with you in the
dark night of suffering and
serve you in the world.
Amen.

The Gunning Fog readability index suggests 8.51 years of formal education is required to understand this prayer on a first reading, the Common Worship prayer requires 15.51 years.

Here's the information on how this prayer is a redub.

My five Maundy Thursday Collects and Post Communions are here.

You can also look at the full Index of Prayers.

The project runs from Advent 2012 to Advent 2013.

If you want to use the prayers, an acknowledgement of myself as author and, if there's space, the link to my blog would be much appreciated.
