Lord Jesus. 
Help me God. 
In the sixth hour, Jesus is nailed to the 
cross. 
And with a robber he was hung and 
condemned. Tormented by thirst, they 
were filled with bitterness. The Lamb was 
mocked as he thus washed away the sin. 
I entreat you. 
Lord Jesus. Nine. 
Help me God. 
In the ninth hour, the Lord Jesus expired. 
Eli confided the spirit of the father. 
 
 
 
 
 
His side was pierced by a soldier’s spear. 
The earth shook and the sun darkened. 
 
I entreat you. Speech. 
Lord Jesus. Vespers. 
Help me God. 
He was taken down from the cross at the 
evening hour. Strength lay in the mind of 
God. 
To submit to such a death is the cure of 
life. Oh, a thorn thrown against the glory 
of the crown. I entreat you. 
Lord Jesus. 
We turn. Compline
