Midweek,
one story tells,
he praised a bold woman
who, weeping in grief, anointed
his feet.
PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE
It was on a Wednesday
that Jesus spoke out
against greed, false concern for the poor,
self-interest.
So today we pray,
Holy source of all that is,
comforter of the poor,
bring sight to those blind to beauty, love and peace;
rescue those exploited by the greedy;
be present to those who call on your name,
to those we named on our lips,
and in the silence of our hearts,
those whose concerns are known only to you;
in Jesus’ name…
