For those of you who are following along with us at Matins, here is the responsory for Passiontide.

He was despised and rejected / by men.
A man of sorrows, and acquaint- / ed with grief.
He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

He was oppressed, and He was afflict- / êd,
Yet He opened / not His mouth.
He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

He poured out His soul / to death
And was numbered with the trans- / gres–sors.
He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
