O GOD,
Whose blessed Son endured the bitterness of the cross;
Grant that all thy servants in trouble may remember him,
receiving strength from his strength,
till they all partake of his victory;
through the same Jesus Christ our Saviour.
Amen.

ALMIGHTY GOD,
Whose most dear Son went not up to joy but first he suffered pain,
and entered not into glory before he was crucified;
Mercifully grant that we, walking in the way of the cross,
may find it none other than the way of life and peace;
through the same Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

O GOD,
Who hast prepared for those who love thee
such good things as pass man's understanding;
Pour into our hearts such love toward thee, that we,
loving thee above all things, may obtain thy promises,
which exceed all that we can desire;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
