Opening Prayer

O God,
we are about to walk with your Son through the stages of
His suffering and death. We know that Jesus' sacrifice
gave us the name Christian.
We know that Jesus saved us and brought us new life through
His sacrifice on the cross and His rising from the dead three days later.
Help us to understand a little better and to love a little more.
Help us to live more unselfish lives.
Open our minds to help us see how we can better follow in Jesus' footsteps. We ask this through Christ, our Lord,

Amen.

O my God, my Redeemer, I am at Thy feet. From the bottom of my heart I am sorry for all my sins, because by them I have offended You, Who art infinitely good. I will die rather than offend You again.
