Holy Week — The Seven Words From the Cross — Introduction (1)
A Harvest of Myrrh and Spices (trs. W. H. Draper)O God, who has laid up an infinite treasure of wisdom, power, and goodness for the whole world, in the last words of thy only begotten Son, our Lord: Give us grace so to keep and ponder them in our minds, that we may be able to hear him say this last word to us: Come, ye blessed children of my Father, receive the kingdom prepared for you from the beginning of the world. Grant this, we beseech thee, O Father, through the same Jesus Christ our Lord.
