Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God

for our redemption

you were born and circumcised,

rejected by the Jews,

betrayed with a kiss by Judas,

seized, bound, and led in chains

to Annas, Caiaphas, Herod, and Pilate,

and you stood before them to be mocked,

smitten with palm and fist,

with the scourge and rod.

Your face was defiled with spitting.

You were crowned with thorns

and accused by false witnesses.

You were condemned,

and as an innocent Lamb led to slaughter,

bearing your own cross,

pierced with nails.

You were given gall and vinegar to drink

and you were left on the cross

to die the most shameful of deaths,

and then wounded with a spear.

By these your most sacred pains

you deliver us from all sins and penalties.

By your holy cross

bring us sinners

where you brought the repentant thief;

for you live and with the Father and the Holy Spirit,

one God, now and forever.

Sarum Missal, Innocent III (1161-1216)

It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon, for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” When he had said this, he breathed his last.
