THE PASSION OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
First Reading Isaiah 52:13–53,12 The
servant of the Lord, an expiatory Sacrifice
See, my servant shall prosper, he shall be raised
high and greatly exalted. Even as many were amazed at him, so marred was his
look beyond human semblance and his appearance beyond that of the sons of man,
so shall he startle many nations, because of him kings shall stand speechless;
for those who have not been told shall see, those who have not heard shall
ponder it. Who would believe what we have heard? To whom has the arm of the
Lord been revealed? He grew up like a sapling before him, like a shoot from the
parched earth; there was in him no stately bearing to make us look at him, nor
appearance that would attract us to him. He was spurned and avoided by people,
a man of suffering, accustomed to infirmity, one of those from whom people hide
their faces, spurned, and we held him in no esteem.
Yet it was our infirmities that he bore, our sufferings that he endured, while we thought of him as stricken, as one smitten by God and afflicted. But he was pierced for our offenses, crushed for our sins; upon him was the chastisement that makes us whole, by his stripes we were healed. We had all gone astray like sheep, each following his own way; but the Lord laid upon him the guilt of us all. Though he was harshly treated, he submitted and opened not his mouth; like a lamb led to the slaughter or a sheep before the shearers, he was silent and opened not his mouth. Oppressed and condemned, he was taken away, and who would have thought any more of his destiny?
When he was cut off from the land of the living, and smitten for the sin of his people, a grave was assigned him among the wicked and a burial place with evildoers, though he had done no wrong nor spoken any falsehood. But the Lord was pleased to crush him in infirmity. If he gives his life as an offering for sin, he shall see his descendants in a long life, and the will of the Lord shall be accomplished through him. Because of his affliction he shall see the light in fullness of days; through his suffering, my servant shall justify many, and their guilt he shall bear. Therefore I will give him his portion among the great, and he shall divide the spoils with the mighty, because he surrendered himself to death and was counted among the wicked; and he shall take away the sins of many, and win pardon for their offenses.

Responsorial Psalm: Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.
Second Reading Herews 4:14-16,5:7-9 The Lord burdened him with the sins of all of us
Since in Jesus, the Son of God, we have the supreme high priest who has gone through to the highest heaven, we must never let go of the faith that we have professed. For it is not as if we had a high priest who was incapable of feeling our weaknesses with us; but we have one who has been tempted in every way that we are, though he is without sin. Let us be confident, then, in approaching the throne of grace, that we shall have mercy from him and find grace when we are in need of help.
During his life on earth, he offered up prayer and entreaty, aloud and in silent tears, to the one who had the power to save him out of death, and he submitted so humbly that his prayer was heard. Although he was Son, he learnt to obey through suffering; but having been made perfect, he became for all who obey him the source of eternal salvation.
The Passion of our Lord Jesus
Christ John 18:1-19,42
N. Jesus left with his disciples and
crossed the Kedron valley. There was a garden there, and he went into it with
his disciples. Judas the traitor knew the place well, since Jesus had often met
his disciples there, and he brought the cohort to this place together with a
detachment of guards sent by the chief priests and the Pharisees, all with
lanterns and torches and weapons. Knowing everything that was going to
happen to him, Jesus then came forward and said,
✠ Who are you looking for?
N. They answered,
C. Jesus the Nazarene.
N. He said,
✠ I am he.
N. Now Judas the traitor
was standing among them. When Jesus said, ‘I am he’,.........
La Passion de notre Seigneur Jésus Christ
(Jn 18, 1 – 19, 42
Lorsqu'il
eut dit ces choses, Jésus alla avec ses disciples de l'autre côté du torrent du
Cédron, où se trouvait un jardin, dans lequel il entra, lui et ses disciples.
Judas, qui le livrait, connaissait ce lieu, parce que Jésus et ses disciples
s'y étaient souvent réunis. Judas donc, ayant pris la cohorte, et des gardes qu'envoyèrent
les principaux sacrificateurs et les pharisiens, vint là avec des lanternes,
des flambeaux et des armes.
Jésus, sachant tout ce qui devait lui arriver,
s'avança, et leur dit:
✠ «Qui cherchez-vous?».
F. Ils lui répondirent:
F. «Jésus de
Nazareth».
L. Jésus leur dit:
✠ «C'est moi».
L. Et Judas, qui le livrait, était avec
eux. «C'est moi,............»......
