Palm Sunday - Christ Church Anglican Cathedral, Ballart - Pilgrim's Service

Palm Sunday, Christ Church Cathedral, Ballarat
Pilgrim's Service with symbols of service.
Among the symbols brought to the altar are -
A stack of lego blocks from a Lego Club
A cornflakes packet from a Breakfast Club
Coathangers from the Sebastopol Op Shop

A feature of Palm Sunday in Ballarat was the evening Pilgrim's Service at the Anglican Cathedral.  What follows is a Prayer to Jesus, Prince of Peace, to start - as pilgrims - our Holy Week journey. 

Jesus, Prince of Peace,
humble and riding on a donkey.

 Jesus, disturber of the peace,
you upset bad religion when it gets in the way of God.
Kyrie eleison, Christe eleison, Kyrie eleison.

Jesus, upsetter of self-righteousness,
you turn questions on their head, offering no instant answers, but showing the way.
Kyrie eleison, Christe eleison, Kyrie eleison.

Jesus, lover of the lost,
you say "forgive" when we ant to shout "condemn!"
Kyrie eleison, Christe eleison, Kyrie eleison.

Jesus, host at the table,
you share your best even in the face of the worst.
Kyrie eleison, Christe eleison, Kyrie eleison.

Jesus, Saviour of the world
- yes, even the world
which wants you
until it meets you
Kyrie eleison, Christe eleison, Kyrie eleison.
