for Passion Vespers. Such a beautiful and comforting service in hymns, psalm, canticle and prayer. Tonight was the Gethsemane reading, and Malchus preached the homily. We wrapped up with Responsive Prayer I:
Holy God,
holy and most gracious Father:
have mercy and hear us...

Call me silly...but what is Passion Vespers? We are not in Passiontide yet so I am having trouble figuring out what is "Passion" about Vespers in the week of Lent 2.
Called Passion Vespers because the reading at these Vespers comes from the conflated Passion - divided into five portions, so it's rather long. The Passion reading is the longest and chief portion of the service.
