...went not up to joy but first he suffered pain, and entered not into glory before he was crucified...

From the Daily Offices for Holy Week in the Book of Divine Worship.
Collect for the Monday of Holy Week.
Almighty God, whose most dear Son went not up to joy but first he suffered pain, and entered not into glory before he was crucified: Mercifully grant that we, walking in the way of the cross, may find it none other than the way of life and peace; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
