Prayer for Good Friday
O Christ, your life was no triumph, you carried a cross; may we walk along the same road as you.
O Christ, by your suffering you learned faithfulness; you became a source of eternal salvation for the whole human race.
O Christ, when threatened you did not retaliate; enable us to forgive to the very end.
O Christ, you see the pain of those who are exiled and abandoned; take their suffering upon yourself.
O Christ, when lies and worries try to separate us from you, your Holy Spirit is always with us.
O Christ, you are the happiness of those who follow you: enable us to live by your trust.
O Christ, our life is hidden with you in God; that is a joy that touches the depths of the soul.
Strengthen us, Eternal God, and we will wait in silence and peace until the light of the Resurrection rises upon us. Amen.
