Week 28 - Prayer 3 

Through your passion and death,
save us, O Lord.”

 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.
