Good Friday

Loving God,you sent Jesus, who reveals your glory,to pay the price for our sinsso that we might share in eternal life.On the night he was betrayed,he remained obedient to your will and,humbling himself, was led to the Cross.Even in the midst of his arrest,Jesus showed compassion by healing the servant.Show us compassion, O God, when we abandon you.Heal our suffering, which can lead us to deny your majesty.Grant courage to those who are weak and raise up the fallen.Strengthen our love for you so thatour hearts and minds may remain focused on Christ’s Paschal Mysteryand forever delight in his triumph over death.Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
