Let
us lift up our eyes to the Son of God upon the cross:
Through
your passion and death, save us, O Lord.
You
fought against Satan:
Through your passion and death,
save us, O Lord.
You knew hunger and thirst:
Through your passion and death, save us,
O Lord.
You
endured the weariness of the road:
Through your passion and death, save us, O Lord.
You
had nowhere to lay your head:
Through your passion and death, save us, O Lord.
You
were rejected and abandoned:
Through your passion and death, save us, O Lord.
You
did the will of your Father:
Through your passion and death, save us, O Lord.
O
Lord, our God, your Son Jesus Christ did not reject death.
From
the Intercessions of Morning Prayer of Good Friday..
