7. A reading from the Prophet
Isaiah
The Lord has given me
a disciple’s tongue.

8. So that I may know how to
reply to the wearied
he provides me with speech.
Each morning he wakes me
to hear,

9. to listen like a disciple.
The Lord has opened my ear.
For my part, I made no
resistance,
neither did I turn away.

10. I offered my back to those
who struck me,
my cheeks to those who tore
at my beard;
I did not cover my face

11. against insult and spittle.
The Lord comes to my help,
so that I am untouched by the
insults.

12. So, too, I set my face like
flint;
I know I shall not be shamed.

my hands and my feet. I can
count every one of my
bones.

why have you
forsaken me?

19. They divide my clothing
among them. They cast lots
for my robe. O Lord, do not
leave me alone, my
strength, make haste to help
me!

20. My God, my God,
why have you
forsaken me?

21. I will tell of your name to my
brethren and praise you where
they are assembled. “You who
fear the Lord give him praise; all
sons of Jacob, give him glory.
Revere him, Israel’s sons.”

22. My God, my God,
why have you
forsaken me?

24. A reading from the letter of St
Paul to the Philippians.
His state was divine,
yet Christ Jesus did not cling

25. to his equality with God
but emptied himself
to assume the condition of a
slave
and became as men are;

26. and being as all men are,
he was humbler yet,
even to accepting death,
death on a cross.
But God raised him high

27. and gave him the name
which is above all other
names
so that all beings
in the heavens, on earth and

28. in the underworld,
should bend the knee at the
name of Jesus
and that every tongue should
acclaim

29. Jesus Christ as Lord,
to the glory of God the
Father.

30. The Word of the
Lord.
Thanks be to

31. Praise to you, O Christ, king of eternal glory!
Christ was humbler yet, even to
accepting death, death on a cross.
But God raised him high and gave
him the name which is above all
names.
Praise to you, O Christ, king of eternal glory!
