Almighty and everliving God,
in tender love for all our human race
you sent your Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ,
to take our flesh
and suffer death upon a cruel cross.
May we follow the example of his great humility,
and share in the glory of his resurrection;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
