Priest: Almighty ever-living God, who as an
example of humility for the human race to
follow caused our Savior to take flesh and
submit to the Cross, graciously grant that we

and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy
Spirit, God, for ever and ever.
All : Amen.

N: He took along Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began
to feel sorrow and distress.…. Then he said to them,
L1: “It is not lawful to deposit this in the temple treasury, for it

N: Jesus said,
L1: “Do you not hear how many things they are testifying
against you?”
N: But he did not answer him one word, so that the governor
was greatly amazed.
N: For he knew that it was out of envy that they had handed
him over. While he was still seated on the bench, his wife
sent him a message, “Have nothing to do with that righteous
man. I suffered much in a dream today because of him.”
The chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask

The governor said to them in reply,
APOSTLES CREED
Lector: That all believers may always welcome the Lord Jesus
with open hearts like those who welcomed him to
Jerusalem, let us pray! R.
Lector: That the Holy Father, our bishop, and our priests may
continue to guide and encourage us with the holiness
of their lives to be faithful to Jesus, let us pray! R.
Lector: That all the members of the judiciary in our country
may render justice without delay, favoritism or
corruption, let us pray! R.
Lector: That the victims of legal injustices may continue their
quest for justice with moral strength and be given their
due, let us pray! R.
Lector: That we may realize that the suffering endured by
Jesus was also caused by our sinfulness and lack of
repentance, let us pray! R.
Lector: Let us pray in silence for our personal intentions and
for all the intentions offered in this mass, let us pray! R.
Priest: Lord God, sustain us in our resolve to live as
Jesus taught us. As we share in his suffering,
may we also come to share in his glory for ever
and ever.
