With prayers for healing in the Scadbury Chapel
Collect Almighty God, whose most dear Son went not up to joy but first he
suffered pain, and entered not into glory before he was crucified: mercifully grant
that we, walking in the way of the cross, may find it none other than the way of
life and peace; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with
you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.
