Old Testament Verse

I gave my back to those who struck me, and my cheeks to those who pulled out the beard; I did not hide my face from insult and spitting.
Isaiah 50:6

New Testament Verse

No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends.
John 15:13

Prayer

God of love, your word is my guide, my safe refuge, and a living fire in my heart. Your steadfast love drives me to my knees in humble adoration, that one so perfect as you would die for someone so sinful as me. Create in me a love willing to give my life for another. Amen.
