Maundy Thursday, Collect (Children's Reboot)

Jesus, today we think of the time

when you said goodbye to your friends.

You knew death would take you

from the world, for a little while.

You shared a meal and shared your love.

Help us when saying goodbye

leaves us feeling sad.

Help us share our feelings.

Amen.

God of compassion,

dark night of suffering and

serve you in the world.
