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.

The Gunning Fog readability index suggests 8.02 years of formal education is required to understand this prayer on a first reading, the Common Worship prayer requires 31.6 years.

Here's the information on how this prayer is a redub.

The Third Sunday of Lent Collection of 5 prayers is here.

You can also look at the full Index of Prayers.

The project runs from Advent 2012 to Advent 2013.

If you want to use the prayers, an acknowledgement of myself as author and, if there's space, the link to my blog would be much appreciated.
