Holy Week — The Seven Words From the Cross — The Second Word (Luke 23:43) (2)
William TempleHelp us, dear Lord, to see ourselves as thou seest us, and in shame for what we are to cast ourselves in trust upon thy love; speak to us the word of pardon, for our trust is not in any virtue or wisdom of our own, but only in the mercy and love of God, which thou hast shown to us in thy life and in thy death, our Lord and our God.
