LIGHTING OF CANDLES
LENTEN CANDLE/CALL TO WORSHIP
Lenten Candle Liturgy2nd Sunday in Lent
As we come together in this season of Lent, we will slowly extinguish lights on the Altar to remind of thedarkness that has crept into our lives because of sin and of the darkness that came from the death of JesusChrist. During this season, do not dread this darkness, but meditate on your own lives and look for the
light that is to come: the light of Jesus Christ.
Worship Leader:On Sunday morning, for a brief space of time, we leave behindthe world of home and work and schoolthe world where we have our lists of
things to do, activities to participate in, tasks to complete. We come here thismorning seeking something else. We come here seeking a shiftfrom theordinary to the sacred, from doing to being. I invite you to close your eyes.
Breathe
Andrea Bailey
Worship Leader: Let go of your list. Recall that it is the season of Lent. Remember the parable of thesower. The sower throws the seed . . . and where it lands determines if it will grow or not grow. Think ofit this way: think of the season of Lent as the sower, the time when seeds of faith are thrown with specialintensity, as a time when God calls to us in a low, urgent voice. Listen. Jesus is being drawn to Jerusalem.Where is God calling you to? What is God calling you to do?
Time of Silence

The Stations of The Cross(St. Francis of Assisi)PREPARATORY PRAYER Rich AshleyO most merciful Jesus, with a contrite heart and penitent spirit, I bow down in profound humility
before Thy divine majesty. I adore Thee as my supreme Lord and Master; I believe in Thee, Ihope in Thee, I love Thee above all things. I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, my
Supreme and Only God. I resolve to amend my life, and although I am unworthy to obtain mercy,
yet the sight of Thy holy cross, on which Thou didst die, inspires me with hope andconsolation.
I will, therefore, meditate on Thy sufferings, and visit the stations of Thy Passion in
company with Thy sorrowful Mother and my guardian angel, with the intention of
promoting Thy honor and saving my soul. I desire to gain all the indulgences granted
for this holy exercise for myself and for the Poor Souls in Purgatory. O merciful
Redeemer, who has said, "And I, if I be lifted from earth, will draw all things to
Myself," draw my heart and my love to Thee, that I may perform this devotion as
perfectly as possible, and that I may live and die in union with Thee. Amen.

MORNING PRAYER Worship Leader & CongregationWorship Leader: O innocent Jesus, having sinned, I am guilty of eternal death, but Thou

All: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will
be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily Bread. And forgive us

O How He Loves You and MeThe Celebration Hymnal# 349
As the Father has loved Me, so have I love you
(John 15:9).
Worship Leader: As we are in the season of Lent, we stop our journey at the tomb awaiting the return of
our Lord and Savior. As we stand this morning in pain, remembering the sacrifice that Jesus made forus, we also stand in joy and in faith as we know that Christs sacrifice was not in vain. Through him
death has been defeated, sin will be no more, and the chains which sin placed around each of us has beendestroyed!
Stand today remembering these words of grace and peace:
All: This is how God showed His love among us: He sent His one and only Soninto the world that we might live through Him. This is love: not that we loved
God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins(1 John 4).
Closing HymnAnd Can It Be?
