Midday prayer for this day in Holy Week:
Lord God, whose blessed Son our Savior gave his body to be whipped and his face to be spit upon: Give me the grace to accept joyfully the sufferings to the present time, confident of the glory that shall be revealed through Jesus Christ your Son, my Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
It is because he suffered that we can endure suffering with hope. May your hope be firmly planted in Christ.
