Here’s
a responsive litany for Good Friday from Christine Sine’s Godspace website.
Litany for Good Friday
Jesus
you took bread and broke it,
You
shared it with your friends.
As you
were broken to feed us with the bread of life.
Jesus
you took wine and poured it out,
Grapes
crushed and drained of life.
As you
were crushed and drained of your life blood.
Jesus
you prayed fervently in agony of spirit,
That
God’s cup of suffering might pass away.
Your
sweat fell like drops of blood yet you endured the pain.
You
hung upon a tree and were crucified for us,
But
looked in compassion on your murderers.
Look
too in compassion
on we
who caused your suffering and your death.
Jesus
you died for us and fell as a seed into the ground,
Knowing
that your death would produce a plentiful harvest of new life.
May we
too be willing to die to ourselves
that
others may find true and eternal life.
