"After this, when Jesus knew that all was now finished, he said (in order to fulfill the scripture), "I am thirsty."

A jar full ofsour wine was standing there. So they put a sponge full of the wine on a branch of hyssop and held it to his mouth. When Jesus had received the wine, he said, "It is finished." Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

[/b]John 18:1 - 19:42

The Passion Story told in a Hymn:

For righteousness and peace will show their faces

to those who feed

the hungry in their need,

and wrongs redress, who build the old waste places,

and in the darkness shine.

Divine, divine, divine it is when all combine!

Then shall your light break forth as cloth the morning;

your health shall spring,

the friends you make shall bring

God's glory bright, your way through life adorning;

and love shall be the prize.

Arise, arise, arise! and make a paradise!

Prayer:

Most merciful God,

who by the death and resurrection of your Son

Jesus Christ

delivered and saved mankind:

grant that by faith in him who suffered on

the cross,

we may triumph in the power of his victory;

through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.
