Loving God - Creating Hope - Changing Lives
Palm Sunday
Almighty and ever-living God, in Your tender love for the
human race You sent Your Son our Savior Jesus Christ to
take upon Him our nature, and to suffer death upon the cross,
giving us the example of His great humility: Mercifully grant
that we may walk in the way of His suffering, and also share
in His resurrection; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives
and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever
and ever. Amen.
Monday in Holy Week
Almighty God, whose dear Son went not up to joy but
first He suffered pain, and entered not into glory before He
was crucified: Mercifully grant that we, walking in the way
of the cross, may find it none other that the way of life and
peace; through Jesus Christ Your Son our Lord, who lives
and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever
and ever. Amen.
Tuesday in Holy Week
O God, by the passion of Your blessed Son you made an
instrument of shameful death to be for us the means of life:
Grant us so to glory in the cross of Christ, that we may gladly
suffer shame and loss for the sake of Your Son our Savior
Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with You and the Holy
Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Wednesday in Holy Week
Lord God, whose blessed Son our Savior gave His body to be
whipped and His face to be spit upon: Give us grace to accept
joyfully the sufferings of the present time, confident of the
glory that shall be revealed; through Jesus Christ Your Son our
Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one
God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Maundy Thursday
Almighty Father, whose dear Son, on the night before He
suffered, instituted the Sacrament of his Body and Blood:
Mercifully grant that we may receive it thankfully in
remembrance of Jesus Christ our Lord, who in these holy
mysteries gives us a pledge of eternal life; and who now lives
and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever
and ever. Amen.
Good Friday
Almighty God, we pray You graciously to behold this Your
family, for whom our Lord Jesus Christ was willing to be
betrayed, and given into the hands of sinners, and to suffer
death upon the cross; who now lives and reigns with You and
the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Holy Saturday
O God, Creator of heaven and earth: Grant that, as the
crucified body of Your dear Son was laid in the tomb and
rested on this holy Sabbath, so we may await with Him the
coming of the third day, and rise with Him to newness of life;
who now lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one
God, for ever and ever. Amen.
