“An invitation can be viewed as a mandate to consider a particular opportunity.” As we begin this Maundy Thursday Prayer Vigil, let’s consider it as God’s invitation and ask Him to open our hearts and minds to the love and sacrifice of Jesus. In this section, we will focus on inviting God’s presence to guide and lead us through this prayer journey.
Take a few moments to quiet your thoughts and become aware of God’s presence. Then, pray that God’s Spirit would lead and guide you through the prayer vigil.

“Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for this opportunity to spend time in prayer on this Maundy Thursday. As we remember Jesus’ Last Supper with His disciples and the events that led to His crucifixion, please open our hearts and minds to truly understand the depth of Your love for us.
Guide us, Holy Spirit, as we reflect on each moment and theme in this prayer guide. Help us to draw closer to You, grow in our faith, and be transformed by the love and sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
We invite Your presence into this prayer time, and we ask that You would lead us every step of the way. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.”
After praying, take a moment to sit in silence and allow God’s peace to fill your heart. As you move on to the next section, continue to be mindful of God’s presence and guidance throughout your prayer time.
