On the following page, the service for Wednesday in Holy Week begins with the Introit from Philippians II: 10, 8 and 11: "In the name of Jesus let every knee bow, of those that are in heaven, on earth, and under the earth, for the Lord became obedient unto death, even to the death of the cross."; Page 81 begins with the final Communion Meditation for Ash Wednesday, Psalm 101:10,13-14: "Thou shall arise and have mercy on Zion, for the time has come to have mercy on it."
