November 23, 2025: Jesus, Remember Me

Jesus, Remember me

[sing: Jesus, Remember Me]

The thief in the gospel deserved punishment. He acknowledges it. He doesn’t deny it. He pleads with Jesus to be remembered when Jesus enters the kingdom. We are that thief. We all have our own woes and mistakes. We, too, plead to Jesus. Pease join in singing . . . [Jesus, Remember Me]  

Jesus remember me, when my heart is shattered by hard news . . . gently hold me in Your compassion.

Jesus remember me, when I receive healing, birth, or new beginnings . . . deepen my gratitude and joy.

Jesus remember me, when I am crushed by fear, grief, or loneliness . . . give us unexpected strength.

Jesus remember me, when my live is turned upside down . . . speak Your peace into my chaos.

Jesus remember me, when I whisper heartfelt prayers like the good thief . . . let me hear Your promise of Paradise.

Jesus remember me, when I face illness or the shadow of death . . . may hope shine brighter than my suffering.

Jesus remember me, when I struggle to believe in tomorrow . . . rekindle my courage with Your mercy.

Jesus remember me, when I rejoice at healing, reconciliation, or renewed love . . . make me a sign of Your goodness. 

Jesus remember me, as our parish strives to be salt and light for others . . .let my humble service (with time, talent and treasure) reveal Your Kingdom now.

Jesus remember me, as I work to transform our world with justice, mercy, and peace . . .strengthen my resolve.

Jesus remember me, through the generosity of giving . . . let me recognize Your loving presence.

Jesus remember me, under the weight of my own crosses to bear . . . lead me into the Paradise that You opened on the cross.

And Jesus said, “Yes, today, you will be with me in Paradise” and we are given hope.
