vv. 1-3 - Litany for Ash Wednesday
L: Man who is born of woman C: Is of few days and full of trouble. L: For dust you are, C: And to dust you shall return. L: He comes forth like a flower and fades away; C: He flees like a shadow and does not continue. L: In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread Till you return to the ground, For out of it you were taken; For dust you are, C: And to dust you shall return. L: For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. C: For dust you are, And to dust you shall return. L: We have been consumed by Your anger, C: And by Your wrath we are terrified. L: You have set our iniquities before You, C: Our secret sins in the light of Your countenance. L: For all our days have passed away in Your wrath; We finish our years like a sigh. C: For dust you are, And to dust you shall return. L: Teach us, O Lord, to number our days, C: That we may gain a heart of wisdom. L: Let us pray. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, we humbly beseech You to set Your Passion, Cross and Death between Your judgment and our souls, now, and in the hour of death. C: Give us mercy and grace, and grant Your Church concord and peace, that at length we shall enjoy everlasting life and glory; for with the Father and Holy Spirit You reign, one God, now and forever. Amen. - Reading: Matthew 26:17-35 View
Now on the first day of the Feast of the Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying to Him, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?” And He said, “Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is at hand; I will keep the Passover at your house with My disciples.” ’ ” So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them; and they prepared the Passover. When evening had come, He sat down with the twelve. Now as they were eating, He said, “Assuredly, I say to you, one of you will betray Me.” And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and each of them began to say to Him, “Lord, is it I?” He answered and said, “He who dipped his hand with Me in the dish will betray Me. The Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.” Then Judas, who was betraying Him, answered and said, “Rabbi, is it I?” He said to him, “You have said it.” And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.” Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom.” And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of Me this night, for it is written: ‘I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ But after I have been raised, I will go before you to Galilee.” Peter answered and said to Him, “Even if all are made to stumble because of You, I will never be made to stumble.” Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you that this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” Peter said to Him, “Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!” And so said all the disciples. - Hymn 276 - When O'er My Sins I Sorrow View
