Good Shepherd, you laid down your life for the sheep, remember us:
Be gracious and have mercy on us.
Everlasting Power and Wisdom of the most high God, Word of the Father, remember us:
Be gracious and have mercy on us.
Maker of the world, the Life of all, the Lord of angels, remember us:
Be gracious and have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, for us you were led as a sheep to the slaughter, remember us:
Be gracious and have mercy on us.
You were seized, guiltless, buffeted, given over to murderers, remember us:
Be gracious and have mercy on us.
By your death you overcome the death of our guilt, remember us:
Be gracious and have mercy on us. Amen.
