God of mercy and compassion,
your servant Joseph of Arimathea
prepared the body of Jesus for burial
and provided for it a resting place;
give us courage to take risks in your service
and follow Jesus our whole life long;
through the same Jesus Christ our Saviour.
Amen.

Prayer

For the hungry and the overfed
May we have enough

For the mourners and the mockers
May we laugh together

For the victims and the oppessors
May we share power wisely

For the peacemakers and the warmongers
May clear truth and stern love lead us to harmony

For the silenced and the propagandists
May we speak our own words in truth.

For the unemployed and the overworked
May our impress on the earth be kindly and creative.

For the troubled and the sleek
May we live together as wounded healers.

For the homeless and the cosseted
May our homes be simple, warm and welcoming.

For the vibrant and the dying,
May we all die to live.
Amen.
