Servant Christ,
Help us to follow you on the road to Jerusalem,
    to set our faces firmly against friendly suggestions
    for a safe, expedient life;
    to embrace boldly the way of self-offering,
The way of life given for other’s gain.

Litany of the Disciples of Christ the Servant Andhra Theological College, India

Jesus took the Twelve aside and told them, 

“We are going up to Jerusalem, 

    and everything that is written by the prophets 

    about the Son of Man will be fulfilled. 

He will be delivered over to the Gentiles. 

They will mock him, insult him and spit on him; 

    they will flog him and kill him. 

On the third day he will rise again.”
