“HOLY CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST, POUR INTO US ALL GOOD”

IMITATION OF THE HOLY CROSS

God all powerful, who has suffered on the tree of the Cross, be with us, Holy Cross of Jesus Christ, have pity on us. Holy Cross of Jesus Christ, be our hope. Holy Cross of Jesus Christ, turn away from us all sharp weapons. Holy Cross of Jesus Christ, pour into us all good. Holy Cross of Jesus Christ, turn away from us all evil.

Holy Cross of Jesus Christ, make us walk in the paths of salvation. Holy Cross of Jesus Christ, preserve us from all spiritual and temporal accidents. Holy Cross of Jesus Christ, may I adore thee. Holy Cross of Jesus, now and forever, Jesus of Nazareth, crucified, have pity on us, make the invisible fly far from us now and for ever and ever. Amen.

(Holy Mary, Mother of God, St Joseph, St Michael Archangel, and Holy Angels, protect us.)

(Our Lord has promised to bless him who recites or procures this prayer for himself or others, and to punish him who scoffs at it. He who reads this prayer daily shall be warned of the approach of his death, three days before, by a divine sign.

He who reads this or hears it read or carries it about him shall not die a sudden death. He shall not be burned or drowned or poisoned; if this prayer is put on a person in an epileptic fit, he or she will be relieved, if not cured.*)
