Monday (Matthew ch 21 vs 12 – 17)
On the Monday of Holy Week, Jesus and his disciples go to the Temple and find many dealers selling sacrificial animals and changing money inside the outer court. Jesus overturns the money stalls saying this is a house of prayer for all nations. The tension grows.
Then the crippled and blind come to Jesus in the Temple and he heals them.
So let us pray for
those who are crippled by disease or anxiety;
those who are crippled by a system;
those who are blind to beauty, love and peace;
those who are blind to what they must do now or do next;
the church in places where it has the possibility of healing the wounds of the nations;
and for ourselves we pray, that we may discern a clear vision of your kingdom;
and that we may steadily walk your path,
Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Amen
