Cross
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Surely he has borne our sickness
and carried our suffering;
yet we considered him plagued,
struck by God, and afflicted.
But he was pierced for our transgressions.
He was crushed for our iniquities.
The punishment that brought our peace was on him;
and by his wounds we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray.
Everyone has turned to his own way;
and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
— Isaiah 53:4-6
Invitatory
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so far from helping me,
and from the words of my groaning?
My God, I cry in the daytime, but you do not answer;
in the night season, and am not silent.
But you are holy,
you who inhabit the praises of Israel.
Our fathers trusted in you.
They trusted, and you delivered them.
They cried to you, and were delivered.
They trusted in you, and were not disappointed.
Do not be far from me, for trouble is near.
For there is no one to help.
They divide my garments among them.
They cast lots for my clothing.
But do not be far off, O Lord.
You are my help. Hurry to help me!
Deliver my soul from the sword,
my precious life from the power of the dog.
— Psalm 22:1-5, 18-20
Cruciform
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world:

Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world:
have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world:
grant us peace.
