St James’s Time To Pray

Time to Pray 9 April


Listen Later

26As they led him away, they grabbed a man from Cyrene called Simon, who was coming in to the city from outside, and they forced him to carry the crossbeam behind Jesus.

27A great crowd of the people followed Jesus, including women who were mourning and wailing for him. 28Jesus turned and spoke to them. ‘Daughters of Jerusalem,’ he said, ‘don’t cry for me. Cry for yourselves instead! Cry for your children! 29Listen: the time is coming when you will say, “A blessing on the barren! A blessing on wombs that never bore children, and breasts that never nursed them!” 30At that time people will start to say to the mountains, “Fall on us”, and to the hills, “Cover us”! 31Yes: if this is what they do with the green tree, what will happen to the dry one?’

Teach us, good Lord,

to serve thee as thou deservest;

to give and not to count the cost;

to fight and not to heed the wounds;

to toil and not to seek for rest;

to labour and not to ask for any reward,

save that of knowing that we do thy will,

through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen

St Ignatius
