JESUS DIES ON THE CROSSReaderA reading from the Gospel according to MarkAt three o’clock Jesus cried out with a loud voice, ‘Eloi, Eloi, lemasabachthani?’ which means, ‘My God, my God, why have youforsaken me?’ When some of the bystanders heard it, they said,‘Listen, he is calling for Elijah.’ And someone ran, filled a spongewith sour wine, put it on a stick, and gave it to him to drink,saying, ‘Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to take himdown.’ Then Jesus gave a loud cry and breathed his last.Silence is kept for a long period of time.Then the choir sings the Crucifixus à 8 by Antonio Lotti (1667–1740)PriestFor our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death, andwas buried.Nicene CreedLet us pray.All remain standing and pray in silence.AllHear us, O Lord,and remember the hourin which thou didst commend thy blessed Spiritinto the hands of thy heavenly Father,when with thy torn body and broken heartthou didst show forth thy mercyby dying to deliver us from eternal death;and so assist us by this thy most precious death,that, dying unto the world, we may live unto thee,and that, at the hour of our departing from this mortal life,we may be received into thine everlasting kingdom,there to reign with thee, world without end.Amen.The choir and ministers leave in silence.Please leave the chapel in silence; but join the chaplain for drinks in the Rector’slodgings after the service.
