Good Friday Prayer

• We veil our faces before your glory,
  O Holy and Immortal one,
  and bow before the cross of your wounded Christ.
  with angels and archangels,
  we praise you, our Mercy,
  and we bless you, our Compassion,
  for in our brokenness
  you have not abandoned us.
  Hear us as we pray through Jesus, our high priest:
  heal all division,
  reconcile the estranged,
  console the suffering,
  and raise up to new life 
  all that is bound by death. Amen.
