Christ, from your fullness we have received all things: you are our eternal hope, full of patience and mercy, and generous to all who call upon you, R. Intercede for us. Christ, spring of life and holiness, you atoned for our sins, bore our injuries and were bruised for our offenses, R. Intercede for us. Christ, obedient unto death, wounded for our sins, source of all consolation, our life and our resurrection, our peace and our reconciliation, R. Intercede for us. Christ, victim of our sin, salvation of all who trust in you, hope of all who die in you, joy of all the saints, R. Intercede for us. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world. R. Have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world. R. Have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world. R. Have mercy on us. |

Let us pray Father in heaven, the love of your Son led him to accept the suffering of the cross that his brothers and sisters might glory in new life. Change our selfishness into self-giving. Help us to embrace the world you have given us, that we may transform the darkness of its pain into the life and joy of Easter. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen. |
