We adore you, o Christ, and we praise you because by your
holy cross you have redeemed the world.
Scripture
Immediately a cock crowed. Then Peter
remembered the word that Jesus had spoken: "Before the cock crows you will deny me
three times." He went out and began to weep bitterly. [Mt. 26,75]
Prayer
Loving God, deepen our faith so that we may see
You in our brothers and sisters, bruised by our envy, beaten down by injustice, and broken
by our greed and our indifference. Amen
