39th day of Lent: prayer and reading

Prayer

Jesus, Saviour of the world, come to us in your mercy and justice. We look to you to save and heal us.

By your Cross and life laid down, you set your people free. In the greatness of your mercy, set us free from our chains.

Come now and dwell with us, beloved Saviour and Deliverer.

In the groaning of our prayers and tears, you are here with us.
