the acat prayer
Lord Jesus,
ā
You experienced in person what it is like to have a death sentence hanging over you.
ā
You were plotted against, betrayed by a friend, and arrested under cover of darkness by men who came with clubs and swords.
You were tortured, beaten and humiliated; sentenced to an agonising death, though you had done no wrong.
ā
Be now with prisoners throughout the world. Be with them in the darkness of the dungeon, in the loneliness of separation from those they love.
ā
Be with them in their fear of what may come to them, in the agony of their torture and in the face of execution and death.
ā
Stretch out your hands in mercy to all who have need of you at this time.
ā
Amen
the acat
