Saviour of the world, what have you dne to deserve this? / And what have we done to deserve you? / Strung up between criminals, cursed and spat upon, you wait for death, and look for us, / for us whose sin has crucified you. // To the mystery of unde­erved suffering, you bring the deeper mystery of unmerited love. / Forgive us for not knowing what we have done; open our eyes to see what you are doing now, as, through wood and nails, / you disempower our depravity and transform us by your grace. Amen.
