"in their hour of need your mercy was at hand."

Good Friday 2020:
A very strange year indeed.

"Almighty ever-living God, comfort of mourners, strength of all who toil, may the prayers of those who cry out in any tribulation come before you, that all may rejoice, because in their hour of need your mercy was at hand.  Through Christ our Lord."

"Omnipotens sempiterne Deus, maestorum consolatio, laborantium fortitudo, perveniant ad te preces de quacumque tribulatione clamantium, ut omnes sibi in necessitatibus suis misericordiam tuam gaudeant affuisse.  Per Christum Dominum nostrum."

     Concluding prayer of the Solemn intercessions, Friday of the Passion of the Lord, Missale Romanum.  According to Bruylants, vol. 2, p. 217, no. 766, this was (indeed the Solemn intercessions were) present in the mid 8th-century Gelasian sacramentary.
