Before his passion, Christ looked out over Jerusalem and wept for it, because it had not recognized the hour of God’s visitation. With sorrow for our sins, let us adore him, and say:
Lord, have mercy on your people.
You longed to gather to yourself the people of Jerusalem, as the hen gathers her young,
— teach all peoples to recognize the hour of your visitation.
Lord, have mercy on your people.
Do not forsake those who have forsaken you,
— turn our hearts to you, and we will return to you, our God.
Lord, have mercy on your people.
Through your passion you gave grace to the world,
— help us to live always by your Spirit, given to us in baptism.
Lord, have mercy on your people.
By your passion, help us to deny ourselves,
— and so prepare to celebrate your resurrection.
Lord, have mercy on your people.
You reign in the glory of the Father,
— remember those who have died today.
Lord, have mercy on your people.
