This evening begins the first day of Passover. Passover, or Pesach, is the Jewish celebration of the Exodus, when the ancient Israelites were freed from captivity in Egypt. A special Seder meal is eaten, while prayers explaining the great feast are read from Haggadah.
Passover begins
God of all, remind us often that glad tidings to someone who is hurting goes beyond mere charity. Let us be good news to the poor and suffering by our willingness to be present to them in love, in their pain, and on their journey, as Jesus is with us. Amen.
Share your prayers and reflections with us. Also, how have you served the poor and suffering?
