Fifth Sunday in LentWatchword for the Week - Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put anew and right spirit within me. Psalm 51:10Jeremiah 31:31-34; Psalm 51:1-12Hebrews 5:5-10; John 12:20-33They will neither hunger nor thirst, nor will the desert heat or the sunbeat down upon them. He who has compassion on them will guide them andlead them beside springs of water. Isaiah 49:10 (NIV)This Spirit he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirsaccording to the hope of eternal life. Titus 3:6-7As we begin this final time before Holy Week, dear Lord, help us to useit to reflect more fully on the sacrifice you made for us as you madeyour way to the cross. Forgive our undisciplined life, our indifferentwitness and our yielding to fear. Transform us this day by your graceand your love. Amen.
