Canticle I Peter

If we share fully in the sufferings of Christ
Through Christ we shall know the fullness of his consolation
Christ suffered for you
And left you an example
To have you follow in his footsteps
He did no wrong
No deceit was found in his mouth
When he was insulted
He returned no insult
When he was made to suffer
He did not counter with threats
Instead he delivered himself up
To the One who judges justly
In his own body
He brought your sins to the cross
So that all of us, dead to sin
Could live in accord with God’s will
By his wounds you were healed
Glory to the Father
And to the Son
And to the Holy Spirit
As it was in the beginning
Is now
And will be for ever
Amen
