...Give us grace to take joyfully the sufferings of the present time...

From the Daily Offices for Holy Week in the Book of Divine Worship.
Collect for the Wednesday of Holy Week.
O Lord God, whose blessed Son our Savior gave his back to the smiters and hid not his face from shame: Give us grace to take joyfully the sufferings of the present time, in full assurance of the glory that shall be revealed; through the same Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
