Third Sunday of Lent, Collect (Redub)

God of solidarity,

in Jesus you lived a human life.

You lived among the creatures of the earth.

You found agony and ecstasy

and everything in between.

You suffered a cruel death

and re-gained eternity.

We ask that you would share

in the sufferings and joys

of the earth and all its people.

Amen.
