Prayer 802- Good Friday

From the Museum of the Middle Ages in Paris.

Lord Christ, you laid down your life for us in love and devotion: all that we have and all that we are worships You. 

We bow before You in awe, O God, as we give You honor and praise for your great love for us. 
'Deliver us from hardness of heart: strengthen our faith and trust in your mercy, for we know all too well our own failures. 
Have mercy on us, Blessed Lord, and forgive us our faults; blot out our offenses and accept our repentance. 

Most Holy One, may we dwell upon your wondrous acts of mercy and charity, and seek to be worthy disciples of your Word. 
Instruct our hearts and tune our intentions, that we may be witnesses of your truth and workers in your vineyard. 

Remember your faithful ones who suffer in body, mind, or spirit, and soothe the hearts of the sorrowing. 
Beloved One, stretch out your protection over those we now name.

Amen.
