Almighty and all-loving God, through your Son Jesus Christ
you have reconciled the world to yourself. Help us now to
be reconciled to one another, that again we might dwell in
the warmth of your love. Inspire us with your Holy Spirit
to put aside the cloak of pride and put on Christ, that we
might forgive and be forgiven; comfort and be comforted;
help and be helped--through Jesus Christ our lord. Amen.

Scripture
Reading Isaiah 53:
4-9 Pew Bible 683-684 (OT)
Anthem When I Survey
the Wondrous Cross Setting by John Carter
When I survey the wondrous cross on which the Prince of
glory died, my richest gain I count but loss, and pour
contempt on all my pride. Forbid it, Lord, that I should
boast, Save in the death of Christ my God; All the vain
things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to His blood.
See, from His head, His hands, His feet, sorrow and love
flow mingled down: Did e'er such love and sorrow meet, or
thorns compose so rich a crown? Were the whole realm of
nature mine, that were a present far too small; Love so
amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all, my
life, my all.

you.” But Jesus made no further reply, so that Pilate was
