Jesus is condemned to death
Officiant: We adore thee, O Christ and we praise thee. (genuflect)
All: Because by Thy holy cross Thou hast redeemed the world.
Officiant: Again the high priest asked Him, and said unto Him,
"Art Thou the
Christ, the Son of the Blessed," and Jesus said, "I am: and ye shall see the Son
of man sitting on the right hand
of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven." Then the high priest
rent his clothes and saith, "What need we any further witnesses? Ye have
heard the blasphemy: what think ye?" And they all condemned him to be
guilty of death. (Mark 14: 61-64)
All: The kings of the earth stand up, and the rulers take
counsel together the rulers
against the Lord, and against His Anointed:
I will rehearse the decree;
the Lord hath said unto me,
Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
Desire of me, and I shall give thee the nations for thine inheritance,
And the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession. (Psalm 2:2 & 7-8)
Let us pray.
ALMIGHTY, everlasting God, Who in Thy beloved Son, King of the whole world, hast
willed to restore all things anew, grant in Thy mercy that all families of
nations, rent asunder by the wound of sin, may be subjected to His most gentle
rule, Who with Thee liveth and reigneth in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God,
world without end. Amen.
Sing: Is there one who would not weep,
Whelmed in miseries so deep
Christ's dear Mother to behold? | |
