A Good Friday Collect

Suffering Servant, who willingly endured such pains that we can barely understand, help us to recognize and admit the darkness of our hearts that brought you to the cross. May seeing your pain make our sin too unbearable to carry, that we would fall at your feet in worship, begging for your aid in leaving our broken ways behind, through you who suffered for our sake and was raised to new life by the Father in the Holy Spirit. Amen.

'There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, with Jesus between them.' - John 19:18
