Lyrics:
  
Jesus, as we try to follow on your journey toward the cross,
we ourselves will come to suffer weakness, loneliness and loss.
But in love you turn to heal us: you let go all goods and powers,
gently sharing all our troubles, making them your own, not ours.
  
Jesus, in your grace and mercy, you share all our pain and tears.
You anoint us with your love and heal our wounds and calm our fears.
So, like Mary with her perfume, we bring gifts of love to you,
sharing death and resurrection, trusting lives will be made new.
