Prayer for Tuesday of Holy Week

O God,
by the passion of thy blessed Son
didst make an instrument of shameful death
to be unto 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 thy Son our Savior Jesus Christ;
who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
