TUESDAY OF HOLY WEEK, APRIL 12, 2022 Scripture
Reading: John 12:20–36
Additional Scriptures: Psalm
71:1–14; Isaiah 49:1–7; 1 Corinthians 1:18–31
Jesus’ response to the request of
the Greeks announces that the hour has come (meaning the crucifixion,
resurrection and ascension). In many respects, what follows is an
interpretation of the hour for the world to hear. One way to view Jesus’ last
public discourse is as an interpretation of the “final” sign in the Gospel:
Jesus’ crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension. Both this discourse and the
Farewell Discourse are based on the fact that the hour is here.
Almighty and everlasting God, grant us grace to pass through this
holy time of our Lord’s Passion that we may obtain the pardon of our sins.
Almighty and everlasting God, grant us grace so to pass through this
holy time of our Lord’s Passion that we may receive the pardon of our sins;
through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the
Holy Spirit, One God, now and forever.
O God, by the passion of Your blessed Son You made an instrument of
shameful death to be for us the means of life: Grant us so to glory in the
cross of Christ, that we may gladly suffer shame and loss for the sake of Your
Son our Savior Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit,
one God, forever and ever. Amen [2]
Almighty and everlasting God, grant us by Your
grace so to pass through this holy time of our Lord’s passion that we may
obtain the forgiveness of our sins; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord,
who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.[3]
