Contrition
Leader:
In the name of the Father
and of the Son
and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.

People:
Lord Jesus Christ, true God and true man,
I am heartily sorry for having sinned You and my neighbor.
You are my Lord and my Brother whom I love above all things.
Come and help me, not to sin again,
and led me into a new life.
I trust in Your loving forgiveness.
Opening Prayer
People:
Lord Jesus of Nazareth,
Your cross proclaims the wonder of Your love.
Teach us to reflect on Your suffering,
death and resurrection,
in order to have an unfailing faith in Your goodness that has no end.
You live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit
forever and ever. Amen.

Teach us to reflect on Your suffering,
death and resurrection,
in order to have an unfailing faith in Your goodness that has no end.
You live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit.

Reflection: [Mk. 15:25-30]

It was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified him.
The inscription of the charge against him read,
“The King of the Jews.”
With him they crucified two revolutionaries,
one on his right and one on his left.
Those passing by reviled him,
shaking their heads and saying,
“Aha! You would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days,
save yourself by coming down from the cross.”

Meditate the abuses that Jesus of Nazareth suffered from His people.
He allowed Himself to be nailed to the cross by His creatures.
All this He took upon Himself to make us realize the evil of sin.
The Word made flesh died out of love for us.
Jesus the High Priest offered His life for sinners.

[Short Silence]

Intercession:

We have a High Priest who remains with us in our weakness,
because He took upon himself our humanity
and became like us in all things except sin.

Response:
* (R) Lord Jesus of Nazareth,
who suffered death on the cross,

[Pause for Personal Intentions]

Lord Jesus, stretched in the cross,
grant us the light of truth and the fire of Your love
to guide our families and societies into everlasting life.

Lord God, our Father, You willed that Your Son, Jesus,
died on the cross for the sins of the world.

so that we may be worthy to hope for a new life.
Help us to walk the way of Your commandments
and to serve You in our neighbors.
Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
