We adore you, o Christ, and we praise you because by your
holy cross you have redeemed the world.
Scripture
Pilate said to him: "Do you not hear
how many things they are testifying against you?" But he did not answer him one word,
so that the governor was greatly amazed. [Mt.
27,13]
Prayer
All powerful and eternal God, for proclaiming
the truth your Son, Jesus Christ, is condemned to death by crucifixion. Stir up your love
in our hearts so that we might be ever faithful to all that You have told us and fear
nothing more than the loss of your friendship through sin. Amen
