Isaiah 53:11b-12  

Through his suffering, my servant shall justify many,
  and their guilt he shall bear.
Therefore I will give him his portion among the great,
  and he shall divide the spoils with the mighty,
Because he surrendered himself to death
  and was counted among the wicked;
And he shall take away the sins of many,
  and win pardon for their offenses.

RESPONSORY
God himself will set me free, from the hunters snare.
God himself will set me free, from the hunters snare.
From those who would trap me with lying words
-and from the hunter's snare.
Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
God himself will set me free, from the hunters snare.

BENEDICTUS (Canticle of Zechariah)
Antiphon:
When you meet those who are in need of clothing, do not turn away from them, for they are your brothers. Then your light shall break forth like the dawn, and your good deeds shall go before you.

INTERCESSIONS
Let us pray to Christ our Savior, who redeemed us by  his death and resurrection:

   Lord, have mercy on us.

You went up to Jerusalem to suffer and so enter into your glory,
 - bring your Church to the Passover feast of heaven.
You were lifted high on the cross and pierced by the soldier's lance,
 - heal our wounds.
You made the cross the tree of life,
 - give its fruit to those reborn in baptism.
On the cross you forgave the repentant thief,
 - forgive us our sins.

Our Father...

Lord,
with your loving care
guide the penance we have begun.
Help us to persever with love and sincerity.
Grant this...

Isaiah 55:3

Create in me a clean heart, O God.
 - Renew in me a steadfast spirit.

Antiphon: As I live, says the Lord, I do not wish the sinner to die, but to turn back to me and live.

Reading
See Jeremiah  3:12b,14a

Return, says the LORD,
I will not remain angry with you;
For I am merciful,
I will not continue my wrath forever.
Return, rebellious children, says the LORD.

Turn away your face from my sins.
 - Blot out all my guilt.

Antiphon: Armed with God's justice and power, let us prove ourselves through patient endurance.

Reading
James 1:27

Religion that is pure and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to care for orphans and widows 15 in their affliction and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

My sacrifice to God is a contrite spirit.
 - A humble contrite heart, O God, you will not spurn.

James 5:16,19-20

Confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The fervent prayer of a righteous person is very powerful.  My brothers, if anyone among you should stray from the truth and someone bring him back, he should know that whoever brings back a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.

RESPONSORY
To you, O Lord, I make my prayer for mercy;  
To you, O Lord, I make my prayer for mercy;
heal my soul, for I have sinned against you.
I make my prayer for mercy;
Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
To you, O Lord, I make my prayer for mercy.  

MAGNIFICAT (Canticle of Mary)
Antiphon: When the bridegroom is taken away from them, then will be the time for the wedding guests to fast.

INTERCESSIONS
The Savior of mankind by dying destroyed death and by rising again restored life.  Let us humbly ask him:

   Sanctify your people, redeemed by your blood.

Redeemer of the world, give us a greater share of your passion through a deeper spirit of repentance,
 - so that we may share the glory of your resurrection.
May your Mother, comfort of the afflicted, protect us,
 - may we console others as you console us.
In their trials enable your faithful people to share in your passion,
 - and so reveal in their lives your saving power.
You humbled yourself by being obedient even to accepting death, death on a cross,
 - give all who serve you the gifts of obedience and patient endurance.
Transform the bodies of the dead to be like your own in glory,
 - and bring us at last into their fellowship.

Our Father...
