Holy Week — The Seven Words From the Cross — The First Word (Luke 23:34) (1)
Basil NaylorO God and Father of us all, who heard the prayer of Jesus Christ thy Son that those who nailed him to the cross should be forgiven: We thank thee for this assurance of a love that even in our ignorance and sin always pleads on our behalf; so write this prayer of Jesus on our hearts that we may learn to love as we are forgiven, and pray for those who knowing or unknowing wrong their fellow men.
