OPENING PRAYER
(STAND)
Pr.:
Jesus came with his disciples to a country place called Gethsemani, and he
said to them, "Sit down here, while I go over yonder and pray." Then, he
took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and he began to be saddened
and exceedingly troubled. He said to them, "My soul is sad, even unto death.
Wait here and watch with me." He went forward a little, and falling
prostrate he prayed, saying, "Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass
away from me; yet not as I will but as you will."
(Mt. 26, 36 to
39)
(KNEEL)
All:
Almighty and eternal Father, / accept our prayer of thanksgiving for your
Beloved Son, our Saviour and Lord. / As we recall his Sacred Passion / send
the Spirit of Christ into our hearts, / we beg You, / so that whether we
pray or work we might do all in union with Christ our Redeemer. / Amen.
(STAND)

-
Jesus, Lord, condemned, defiled,
-
May we too be meek and mild
-
As we tred your holy Way.
-
May we feel no bitter hatred,
-
When we too are persecuted,
-
Left alone to walk with You.
