Palm Sunday is the day when we remember Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a donkey, beginning the last week of his life on Earth.
Ang shared a prayer on her blog post today, For the church, for our leaders, and for the people.
I had the same thought. 'I'll switch on a candle for you', I said to a friend a day or so ago. It doesn't have the same ring to it as lighting a candle, but I can no longer have flames in the house!
It's not the candle that is the prayer, no indeed! It's just a visual sign to remember to pray, off and on through the evening. The actual circumstances and names and details of the request are unknown to me; I don't need that. I just hold the situation in my thoughts, asking for God's blessing and mercy for the people concerned.
So that's my tiny spiritual change for this week; to remember to pray for others.
Back to the donkey,
