 Almighty God, whose most dear Son went not up to joy but first he suffered pain, and entered not into glory before he  was crucified: Mercifully grant that we, walking in the way  of the cross, may find it none other than the way of life and  peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

At the Eucharist

Let us pray.

Almighty and everliving God, in your tender love for the human race you sent your Son our Savior Jesus Christ to take  upon him our nature, and to suffer death upon the cross,  giving us the example of his great humility: Mercifully grant  that we may walk in the way of his suffering, and also share  in his resurrection; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives  and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever  and ever. Amen.
