O God, come to my assistance, Lord, make haste to help me.

Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning is now,

and will be forever amen.

With faith in God by which we live, by lasting hope that spurs on faith,

and by the grace of charity, we sing the glory of the Christ.

Led forth at this third hour to die,

He gave himself in sacrifice,

and suffered hanging on the cross to find his sheep and lead them whole made free by his

redeeming blood as humble servants let us pray that he may save from worldly pride

All those released from death's decree

We ask the father and the son

And beg the spirit of them both

Sustain us with your loving care, who reign forever three in one.

Amen.

Before the feast of the Passover,

Jesus knew that his hour had come.

He had always loved those who were his own and now he would show them the depth of his love. Lord, you have been good to your servant

according to your love

Teach me discernment and knowledge

For I trust in your comments

Before I was afflicted I strayed

But now I keep your word.
