Adult As we continue our journey toward Good Friday, we press on in hope. The prophet Isaiah reminds us that God will be with us when we pass through trials, that God will make a way for us in the wilderness. God promises us water in the desert.

Youth When Mary anoints Jesus’ feet, she gives him a gift of caring and hope as he moves towards the end of his journey. We too can be a sign of hope for others.

Adult As we put out this candle, we remember the times when we have missed opportunities to care for others. We are called to share God’s love with all people. (the fifth candle is extinguished) Let us pray:

All God of pilgrims, you give us strength for our journey. Help us to support and care for our companions on this pilgrimage. Let our lives be a sign of hope to them, as you are the strength and hope of our lives. Amen!
