The collect for today, Monday in Holy Week, from The Book of Common Prayer[1] (Canadian, 1962):
ALMIGHTY and everlasting God, who, of thy tender love towards mankind, hast sent thy Son our Saviour Jesus Christ, to take upon him our flesh, and to suffer death upon the cross, that all mankind should follow the example of his great humility: Mercifully grant, that we may both follow the example of his patience, and also be made partakers of his resurrection; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Lesson: Isaiah 63:7-9[2]
The Beginning of the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark
The Gospel: St Mark 14:1-72[3]
[4]
Artwork: Etimasia, c. 1220, detail from Apse Mosaic, Basilica Papale di San Paolo fuori le Mura[5] (Papal Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls), Rome. The Etimasia shows two angels flanking an empty throne with the Cross and the instruments of Christ’s passion. A closed Gospel book sits on the cushion of the throne. Behind the cushion are the crown of thorns resting on a pole, the lance, the vinegar-soaked sponge, and the nails of crucifixion in a chalice of blood.
