Friday Morning Collect

Almighty God, whose most dear Son 
went not up to joy but 
first he suffered pain, 
and entered not into glory before he 
was crucified: 
Mercifully grant that we, 
walking in the way 
of the cross, 
may find it none other 
than the way of life and 
peace; 
through Jesus Christ our Lord. 
Amen.


(BCP 97)
