Prayer Banner - Agonised Pleading

Artwork by Sr Mary Stephen CRSS

From a series of images for prayer, reflection, contemplation or meditation.

'My heart is stricken within me, death's terror is on me, trembling and fear fall upon me and horror overwhelms me.' (Psalm 54 (55) vs5-6)

'Lord my God, I call for help by day; I cry at night before you.' (Psalm 87 (88) vs2)

We are in anguish when great suffering meets us and our world seems in ruins. 'Why?' we ask. 'Where is God in this?'

At such times our whole body can be a prayer of distress, hands clenched and head raised in pleading for help from God.

In times of anguish we are in company with Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. When the suffering seems unendurable we can pray to enter the mystery of pain with him. It strengthens us to know he has been there too. He has even entered the darkness of death and come through.
