Ps. 38:1-4, 18, 22; antiphon: Is. 53:5
He was wounded for our transgressions; he was
crushed for our iniquities;*
upon him was the chastisement that brought us
peace, and with his stripes we are healed.
O LORD, rebuke me not in your anger,
nor discipline me in your wrath!
For your arrows have sunk into me,’
and your hand has come down on me.
There is no soundness in my flesh because of your
indignation;*
there is no health in my bones because of my sin.
For my iniquities have gone over my head;*
like a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me
I confess my iniquity;
I am sorry I for my sin.
Make haste to help me,
O Lord, my salvation!
He was wounded for our transgressions; he was
crushed for our iniquities;*
upon him was the chastisement that brought us
peace, and with his stripes we are healed.
COLLECT OF THE DAY
Almighty God, graciously behold this Your family for whom our Lord Jesus Christ was willing to be betrayed and delivered into the hands of sinful men to suffer death upon the cross; through the same Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen
