May we all meditate on the suffering of our Lord and His sacrifice for us. May we watch what we say, and do, that the "whole day may be blameless and sinless"....
Troparion , 8th Tone (from Holy Thursday Matins): When the glorious disciples were enlightened at the washing of the feet, then Judas, the ungodly one was stricken and darkened with the love of silver. And unto the lawless judges did he deliver Thee, the Righteous Judge. Behold, o lover of money , him that for the sake thereof did hang himself; flee from that insatiable soul that dared such things against the Master. O Thow Who art good unto all, Lord, glory be to Thee.
Troparion, tone 4: Thou hast redeemed us from the curse of the Law by Thy precious Blood. By being nailed to the Cross and pierced with the Spear, Thou hast poured immortality on mankind. O our Saviour, glory to Thee.
Kontakion, tone 8: Come, let us all praise Him Who was crucified for us. For Him it was Whom Mary beheld on the Tree, and said: Even though Thou endurest the cross, Thou art my Son and my God.
