LENTEN CROSS LITURGY
FROM SUFFERING TO GLORY
Using a bare wooden cross to which different items
are added each Sunday during lent. On Easter Sunday
the items are removed one by one and then the cross
is covered with flowers (need to have some mesh
round the cross for these to go into)
Week 1 THE BREAD AND THE WINE
On our journey through lent, may these symbols be
reminders of the road Jesus took. The road of pain
and suffering, the path of self giving love. May they
also remind us of the suffering of the world and
challenge us to respond. Today we place bread and
wine on our Lenten cross, reminders of the last meal
Jesus shared with his friends, a meal that was to end
in betrayal. We remember all who will go hungry today,
thinking of those who feel betrayed by leaders and
governments who have put their own needs before
those of the people they should be serving. Lord
