In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Dear Jesus, your love for your Father and for the whole world brought you to the cross. Gazing upon the cross helps us to remember your bitter Passion and we thank you for your great sacrifice.
Give us servant’s hearts so that we respond easily to those suffering around us. For we know that when we help the abandoned and needy we are actually serving you.
Lord Jesus, in remembrance of your sorrowful Passion and Death, please look down upon us and grant the petition we ask for…
(Mention your intentions here).
Holy Cross, whereon the Lamb of God was offered for the sins of the world, Deliver and save us. Hope of Christians, Save us, O Holy Cross. Trophy of victory over hell, Hope of the hopeless, Light of those who sit in darkness, Foundation of the Church, Salvation of the world, Bread of the hungry, Fountain of those that thirst, Clothing of the naked, Lamb of God, Who was offered on the cross for the sins of the world, Spare us, O Lord.
Lamb of God, Who was offered on the cross for the sins of the world, Graciously hear us, O Lord.
Lamb of God, Who was offered on the cross for the sins of the world, Have mercy on us.
Lord, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.
O Jesus, your cross is life-giving! Your death and resurrection brought us salvation. Send us the Holy Spirit while we praise You and meditate on the meaning of your death.
Through the Holy Spirit, open our hearts so that we may be able to know that without sacrifice, we can never be your disciples.
Through Your Holy Cross, save us. Amen.
The Our Father
Hail Mary
The Glory Be
