Maundy Thursday

by Fayelle Ewuakye

Holy God,
everlasting light
breath that never fails

You placed the height and depth and breadth of glory
into your Son
He washed dust-stained feet
He offered mercy without limits
He loved beyond measure
He offered Himself as the Prince of Peace

Teach us to love, God
to speak a language of never ending mercy
to carry hearts that break like yours
to embrace the hungry, the cold, the suffering
to hear and sing a song of peace

Amen

John 13:1-17

This Lent, we have been gifted the privilege to share drawings of Palestinian children who have had to endure such heartache and fear for over 800 days. The violence continues and so do the effects. And so will our work.

We ask that you join us to keep the children of Palestine close in your mind and your heart. These drawings from Remas (15), Enas (13), and Retal (11)*, while heartbreaking, are begging for witness. Let us not turn away. Let us embrace renewed strength. Let us take our broken hearts and turn it into action.

*We offer our gratitude to Heather Layton (www.heatherlayton.com) and the beautiful children of Palestine for sharing their heart
