Grant that we may also be with You, Lord Jesus, today and forever, on earth and in Heaven, for You have always been there for us even though we failed to discern Your goodness and Your innocent suffering on our behalf. Accept our repentance as You accepted Dismas who turned his eyes toward You in complete trust. We are all criminals deserving punishment, but in faith we offer these praises:
Save us, for You are the Crucified Christ.
Save us, for You are the joy of Great Lent.
Save us, for we wish to die in a repentant state.
Save us, for we hope to be worthy of everlasting life.
Save us, for we pray for undeserved kindness.
Save us, for we yearn to know the True God.
Save us, for You are our Advocate with the Father.
Save us, for You desire that none should be lost.
Save us, for the way of the world leads to destruction.
Save us, for the way of the Cross pours out forgiveness.
Save us, for this world will pass away.
Save us, for the Kingdom is eternal.
Christ our Savior, save us.
