Little Chapter
(I Peter II, 23-24)
P. He delivered himself to him that judged him unjustly, who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live to justice; by whose stripes we were healed.
F. Thanks be to God.
P. He was offered because it was his own will.
F. And he himself bore our iniquities.
P. Lord, have mercy on us.
F. Christ, have mercy on us.
P. Lord, have mercy on us.
LET US PRAY
P. O Lord Jesus Christ, who, at the sixth hour of the day, didst mount upon the gibbet of the cross and, thirsting for our salvation, didst suffer gall and vinegar to be given thee to drink: we humbly beseech thee to enkindle thy fire in our hearts and make us to thirst for the chalice of thy Passion. Who livest and reignest world without end.
F. Amen.
