From the gospel of St. John
They then took charge of Jesus, and carrying his own cross he went out of the city to the place of the skull or, as it was called in Hebrew, Golgotha. (Jn. 19:17)
Words of our Lord
"If anyone wants to be a follower of mine, let him renounce himself and take up his cross and follow me. For anyone who wants to save his life will lose it; but anyone who loses his for my sake will find it. What, then, will a man gain if he wins the whole world and ruins his life? or what has a man to offer in exchange for his life (Mt. 16:24-26).
Let us pray
Almighty and ever living God, you gave our savior the command to become man and undergo the cross, as an example for all men to follow. We have the lessons of his sufferings: give us also the fellowship of his resurrection. we ask this through Christ our Lord." Amen
Hymn
oh, how sad and sore distressed was that mother highly blest of the sole-begotten one.
