Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, who, though pronounced innocent by the president Pilate, didst hear, without opening Thy divine lips, the outcries of the Jews to crucify Thee; grant that I may live innocently, and that the malice of others may not trouble me. Amen.

Lord Jesus Christ, who for me wouldst be shown unto the Jews, with the ensigns of their mockery on Thee; give me grace to fly the ostentation of vain- glory, and to submit to mockery and contempt for Thy sake. Amen.

Lord Jesus Christ, who didst for my sake vouchsafe to receive the sentence of death, even the death of the Cross; make me for Thy love not to fear the sentence of the most cruel death that the perverted judgments of men can pronounce against me, nor ever perversely to judge others. Amen.
