Suffering servant of God, who was wounded that we might be healed, open our eyes to the consequences of sin and wrong, of hubris and malice and greed, that we might turn from the ways of death and embrace the wholeness that you offer, through you who gave up your life that we might live and now abides forever with the Father and Holy Spirit above. Amen.
‘Surely he has borne our infirmities and carried our diseases, yet we accounted him stricken, struck down by God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the punishment that made us whole, and by his bruises we are healed.’ – Isa. 53:4-5
