"At the appointed time,
when we were still powerless,
Christ died for us godless men.
It is rare that anyone should lay down his life
for a just man,
though it is barely possible that for a good man
someone may have the courage to die.
It is precisely in this that God proves his love for us;
that while we were still sinners,
Christ died for us."
Jesus, thank you for dying for us.
Jesus, we are not worthy of so great a gift.
We ask your forgiveness this day.
We plead for mercy.
Jesus have mercy on me for I am a sinner.
Save us, O Lord.
We are sinking.
Reach out your hand to us as you did Peter on the water.
Save us, Lord.
The wind and waves are so strong, O Lord.
Calm the storm.
May there be peace in our lives.
Increase our faith, Lord.
We are so weak. Strengthen us, Lord.
We call on your most holy name Jesus.
Have mercy on us, Lord.
Amen.
