This Good Friday prayer for the Jewish people is one of ACNA's own compositions for the 2019 Book of Common Prayer. It is new to that book, but it stands in a long line of Good Friday prayers, going back at least to the fifth-century Roman church, that have prayed for the Jewish people on this day, a line that has been rewritten again and again as the Church has repented of harmful language it once used here.
