faithful to the race
fulfilled, accomplished
on the rugged cross
Christ’s cry of deliverance,
It is finished,
not defeat, victory;
he had completed the path

Opening prayer
Father forgive them, for they know not what they do
(Luke 23:34).
Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise
(Luke 23:43)
Woman, behold your son: behold your mother
(John 19:26-27).
My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?
(Matthew 27:46 and Mark 15:34).
I thirst
(John 19:28).
It is finished

Father, into your hands I commit my spirit
(Luke 23:46).
