Overview

Lord Jesus Christ, you stretched out your arms of love on the hard wood of the cross that everyone might come within the reach of your saving embrace: So clothe us in your Spirit that we, reaching forth our hands in love, may bring those who do not know you to the knowledge and love of you; for the honor of your Name. Amen. As you reflect upon these daily devotions during the season of Lent, you will say this prayer each day. Written by Bishop Charles Henry Brent and found in the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer, these words connect us to the one who opened his arms to embrace the entire world with his love in the midst of his suffering. Every weekday of Lent, you will slowly move further into the story of Jesus' Passion as told in the Gospel According to John: the arrest in the garden, the trial before Pilate, the walk to Golgotha, the crucifixion. As you devote yourself to prayer with the words of the Gospel, feel Jesus' arms of love reaching out to embrace you, ushering you deeper into his mission of healing and reconciliation in this world.
