Pray for me, gracious Redeemer, lest I deny You. O Lord, You know that I have promised to be faithful to You, and nevertheless I have again and again sinned and offended You with my many transgressions and broken pledges. I am ashamed of myself. Yet I come to You for there is no other Savior from sin.

A Prayer for Monday of Holy Week
Precious Savior, You are my surest Friend; hold me that I do not stumble and fall. Guard my heart that the love of gold, the smiles of popularity, the eagerness to succeed, may not rob me of my salvation, which You so dearly bought with Your own blood.

Prayer for Palm Sunday
Today again I praise You with my hosannas and welcome You as the King of my heart. Enter in and take full possession of me, body heart, mind and soul. As thousands and ten thousands today vow faithfulness to You until death, acknowledging that they have no other Savior, grant that I, too, join this great host of faithful people to realize both the enormity and bitterness of my sin as well as the course of plenteous redemption to which You committed Yourself.

The Time of Easter — Lent
To prepare to celebrate the feast of the Resurrection the Church sets aside a period of preparation. This forty-day preparation was first prescribed for baptismal candidates and became known as Lent. The observances of Lent are concrete reminders of the greater solemnity of this season, yet Lutherans emphasize the Gospel of Christ as central even to this penitential season. The Gospel on the Sundays in Lent do not speak of Christ’s Passion, rather they prefigure the great Easter victory.

Sexagesima
The propers for Sexagesima emphasize the warning against trusting in anything that we do. The spirit of self-seeking, or of self-trust, or of self-righteousness will taint our sacrifice and render it unacceptable, for the sacrifice of self must be offered to God and not to self.
