Contemplating the Passion.

"O God, who in this season give your Church the grace to imitate devoutly the Blessed Virgin Mary in contemplating the Passion of Christ, grant, we pray, through her intercession, that we may cling more firmly each day to your Only Begotten Son and come at last to the fullness of his grace. Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen." – Collect which may be used today, the 5th Friday of Lent. Detail from a reredos in Ampleforth Abbey church of the Blessed Mother meeting Christ on the Via Dolorosa.
