GOOD FRIDAY PRAYER
O Jesus, Who by way of Your burning love for us
has willed to be crucified
and to shed Your Most Precious Blood
for the redemption and salvation of our souls,
look down upon us here gathered together
in remembrance of Your most sorrowful Passion and Death,
fully trusting in Your mercy;
cleanse us from sin by Your grace,
sanctify our labor,
give unto us and unto all those who are dear to us our
daily bread,
sweeten our sufferings,
bless our families and friends,
and to the nations so sorely afflicted,
grant them all Your peace,
which is the only true peace,
so that by obeying Your commandments, in our last days and last breath of this life, we may come at last to the glory of heaven.
Amen.
