Holy Week | Good Friday 29 Mar 2024
+ In the Name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Opening:
Almighty God, we beseech you graciously to behold this your
family, for whom our Lord Jesus Christ was willing to be
betrayed and given into the hands of sinners, and to suffer death
upon the Cross; who now lives and reigns with you and the
Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
[ On Good Friday, believers remember
the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ, with all its solemnity and sorrow.
On that day:
The Lord of Life was rejected, mocked, scourged, and then put to death on the Cross. Christ took all sin upon himself, in obedience to his Father’s will.
By the Cross we are redeemed, set free from bondage to sin and death. The Cross is a sign of God’s never-ending love for us. It is a sign of life, in the midst of death.]

The Lord’s Prayer: ACNA | BCP2019
+ Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
+ Give us this day our daily bread.
+ And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
+ And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, we pray you to set your passion, Cross, and death between your judgment and our souls, now and in the hour of our death. Give mercy and grace to the living; peace and rest to the dead; to your holy Church unity and concord; and to us sinners everlasting life and glory; for with the Father and the Holy Spirit you live and reign, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
