Almighty and everliving God, in your tender love
for the human race you sent your Son our Savior Jesus Christ to take
upon him our nature, and to suffer death upon the cross, giving us the
example of his great humility: Mercifully grant that we may walk in the
way of his suffering, and also share in his resurrection; through Jesus
Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one
God, for ever and ever. Amen.
