For three hours Jesus hung upon his
pierced hands; his blood has run down in streams; and
in the midst of excruciating suffering, he has pardoned
his murderers, promised the bliss of Paradise to the
good thief, and committed his blessed mother and Beloved
Disciple to each other's care. All is now finished;
and meekly bowing down his head, he gives up his spirit. |

|
All kneel in silence |
|
Arise |

|

|
O Jesus, we devoutly embrace that
honored cross where you did love us - even unto death.
In that death we place all our confidence, henceforth
let us live only for you; and in dying for you, let
us die loving you. |

Darkness fell on the whole countryside.
At that time Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi,
Eloi, lama sabacthani?" which means, "My
God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Then, Jesus,
uttering a loud cry, breathed his last. |
|
All: |
|
I tell you all this, that in my you
may find peace. You will suffer in the world. But take
courage! I have overcome the world. |
|
All sing: |
|
Let me share with you his pain,
Who for all our sins was slain,
Who for me in torments died. |
