Lord, prepare your people fittingly for the celebration of
Easter, that the bodily penance we have solemnly begun may work to the good of
our souls. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and
reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever Amen
1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so far
from saving me, from the words of my groaning?
2 O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer,
and by night, but
I find no rest.
3 Yet you are holy,
enthroned on the
praises[a] of Israel.
4 In you our fathers trusted;
they trusted, and
you delivered them.
5 To you they cried and were rescued;
in you they
trusted and were not put to shame.
6 But I am a worm and not a man,
scorned by mankind
and despised by the people.
7 All who see me mock me;
they make mouths
at me; they wag their heads;
8 “He trusts in the Lord; let him deliver him;
let him rescue
him, for he delights in him!”
Psalm 22 – English Standard Version
