Heavenly Father,
In the garden of Gethsemane
your son was deeply grieved even to death
and asked you to spare him the cross
while still accepting your holy will.
Permit us to share his agony with him
and promise to be more faithful
than Judas who betrayed him
or the disciples who abandoned him.
Blessed be Jesus, true God, and true man!

May the glorious passion of our Lord Jesus Christ
bring us to the joys of paradise
Amen

O God, come to my assistance.

For by your Holy Cross you have redeemed the world.

Your love, so that I may grow in your wisdom and enjoy Your peace.
