PRAYER OF THE DAY

P:   Almighty God, look with loving mercy on your family, for whom our Lord Jesus Christ was willing to be betrayed, to be given over to the hands of sinners, and to suffer death on the cross; who now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.

C:  Amen.

THE PRAYERS (A series of seven prayers as we prepare to hear the seven gospel readings)

THE LORD'S PRAYER

Our Father in heaven,

      hallowed be your name,

      your kingdom come,

      your will be done,

            on earth as in heaven.

Give us today our daily bread.

Forgive us our sins

      as we forgive those

            who sin against us.

Save us from the time of trial

      and deliver us from evil.

For the kingdom, the power,

      and the glory are yours,

      now and forever. Amen.
