Holy Week — The Seven Words From the Cross — The Fifth Word (John 19:28) (1)
Basil NaylorSon of Man, who entered our mortal life to be one with us in the ways of men: We bless thee for the love which stooped down to the level of our need; and though the reward of thy self-giving was the cross, we rejoice in knowing that through grief and pain and thirst the victory was won in our humanity, and the glorious hope of our salvation is in one who is both God and man.
