Good Friday 

*On this day the ministers enter in silence.* 


*All then kneel for silent prayer, after which the Celebrant stands and 
begins the liturgy with the Collect of the Day.* 


*Immediately before the Collect, the Celebrant may say* 

Blessed be our God.

*People*  For ever and ever.  Amen. 


Let us pray. 

Almighty God, we pray you graciously to behold this your
family, for whom our Lord Jesus Christ was willing to be
betrayed, and given into the hands of sinners, and to suffer
death upon the cross; who now lives and reigns with you and
the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.  Amen.
