Monday before Easter.
The Collect.
ALMIGHTY GOD, Whose most dear SON+ went not up to joy but first
HE+ suffered pain, and entered not into glory before
HE+ was crucified; Mercifully grant that we,
walking in the Way of the Cross, may find it none other than the Way of Life
and Peace; through the SAME+, Thy SON+ JESUS CHRIST our LORD. Amen.
Book of Common Prayer 1945

Mark 14: 16 - 26
And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.
And in the evening he cometh with the twelve. And as they sat and did eat, JESUS said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.
And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?
And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish. The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born.
And as they did eat, JESUS took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat;this is my body.
And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it. And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.
Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.
And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
