As we enter the Holy Week...

Almighty God, whose most 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 than the way of life and peace;

through Jesus Christ our Lord.

amen.


Liturgy of the Passion:  
Isaiah 50:4-9a; Psalm 31:9-16; Philippians 2:5-11; and Luke 22:14-23.
