The Exalted One
Being found in our human state, Christ humbled himself:
and became obedient unto death,
even death on a cross.
Amen.
Gospel Reading - Beginning from Jerusalem

44Then he said, “When I was with you before, don’t you remember my telling you that everything written about me by Moses and the prophets and in the Psalms must all come true?” 45Then he opened their minds to understand at last these many Scriptures! 46And he said, “Yes, it was written long ago that the Messiah must suffer and die and rise again from the dead on the third day; 47and that this message of salvation should be taken from Jerusalem to all the nations: There is forgiveness of sins for all who turn to me. 48You have seen these prophecies come true.
. . . . .Luke 24:44-48The Lord's Prayer
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Save us from the time of trial
and deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours
now and for ever.
Amen.
