From Luther’s Small Catechism:

Luther’s Morning Prayer SUNDAY OF THE PASSION

We give thanks to you, heavenly Father, through Jesus
Christ your dear Son, that you have protected us through
the night from all danger and harm. We ask you to
preserve and keep us, this day also, from all sin and evil,
that in all our thoughts, words, and deeds we may serve and
please you. Into your hands we commend our bodies and
souls and all that is ours. Let your holy angels have charge
of us, that the wicked one have no power over us. Amen

Luther’s Evening Prayer

We give thanks to you, heavenly Father, through Jesus

Christ your dear Son, that you have this day so graciously
protected us. We beg you to forgive us all our sins and the
wrong which we have done. By your great mercy defend
us from all the perils and dangers of this night. Into your
hands we commend our bodies and souls and all that is
ours. Let your holy angels have charge of us, that the
wicked one have no power over us. Amen

Almighty God, you sent your Son, our Savior Jesus

Christ, to take our flesh upon him and to suffer
death on the cross. Grant that we may share in his
obedience to your will and in the glorious victory of
his resurrection; through your Son, Jesus Christ our
Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and forever.
GOSPEL: Luke 22:14 – 23:56 or
Luke 23: 1-49
(either one is too long to be printed here)
SECOND READING: Philippians 2:5-11
Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus.
6 who, though he was in the form of God,
did not regard equality with God
as something to be exploited,
7 but emptied himself,
taking the form of a slave,
being born in human likeness.
And being found in human form,
8 he humbled himself
and became obedient to the point of death—
even on a cross.
9 Therefore God also highly exalted him
and gave him the name
that is above every name,
10 so that at the name of Jesus
every knee should bend,
in heaven and on earth
and under the earth,
11 and every tongue should confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN
My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to
finish his work.
John iv. 34.
The will of God which Christ came to do can be
nothing else but Christ own obedience, as Paul says, ‘He
was obedient for us’. By that will we are all sanctified:
‘Through the obedience of the one shall the many be
made righteous’ (Romans v.).
‘He humbled himself, becoming obedient even
unto death.’
But all this He did, not because we have merited it
or are worthy of it (for who is the man to be worthy of
such a service from such a person?), but because He
obeyed His Father. By this saying St. Paul with one word
flings open the gates of heaven, thus letting us behold the
unspeakable, gracious will and love of the Father’s heart
towards us, so that we feel how from the beginning of
time Christ’s sacrifice for us has been well-pleading unto
God.
What heart should not melt with joy at this? Who
should not love, and laud, and thank? Who should not
joyfully become the servant of all the world, and even
less than nothing, when he perceives that God holds him
to be so dear and precious to Him, and that He proves and
pours out His Fatherly will so abundantly in His own
Son’s obedience?
Sermon from the year 1525.. W.A. 17. II. 244.
