We beseech thee, Almighty God, mercifully to look upon thy people; that by thy great goodness they may be governed and preserved evermore, both in body and soul; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Passiontide, the two weeks ending on Holy Saturday commemorating the Passion of Christ, begins today.
