the acat prayer

Lord Jesus,

​

You experienced in person what it is like to have a death sentence hanging over you.

​

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.

​

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.

​

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.

​

Stretch out your hands in mercy to all who have need of you at this time.

​

Amen
