VERY POWERFUL PRAYER OF THE HOLY CROSS - THE FEAST OF THE EXALTATION OF THE HOLY CROSS PRAYER - 14 SEPTEMBER

The feast of the exaltation of the Holy cross.

This great feast, at the very outset of the Christian year,
following the Nativity of the Mother of God on September 8,
proclaims that the Cross stands firm while the earth revolves, as the hermits of old said.
The Cross has significance for all the world.
Jesus said,
“If I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all peoples to Me.”
On this day, the Cross is lifted up to the four corners of the earth,
and descends even into hell, that the world may be saved.
It is raised five times, facing East, South, West, North and East again.
The whole world is encompassed.
We find in the Expostilarion, this idea:
The cross is the guardian of the whole earth.
The Cross is the beauty of the Church.
The Cross is the strength of Kings.
The Cross is the support of the faithful.
The Cross is the glory of angels and wonder of demons.
Let us pray together,
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
Amen
Oh Lord Almighty!
You have suffered death at the cross for our sins.
Oh Holy Cross of Jesus! be my true light.
Oh Holy Cross of Jesus! fill my soul with good thoughts.
Oh Holy Cross! help me in my salvation.
Oh Holy Cross! safeguard me against unholy thoughts,
and worldly dangers, that I may worship the Holy Cross of Jesus of Nazareth crucified.
Have pity on me. Oh Holy Cross of Jesus! be my hope.
Oh Holy Cross have mercy on me forever and ever.
In honor of the Precious Blood of Jesus, and His fearful Death and Resurrection and His Glorification, which leads to everlasting life.
As true as Jesus is born on Christmas, and crucified on Good Friday.
As true as St. Joseph and Nicodemus took Jesus down from the cross.
As true as Jesus ascended into heaven.
May He preserve me from my enemies both visible and invisible, forever and ever.
Lord Almighty, into Your hands I give my soul and my body.
Oh Lord Jesus! grant me strength to bear the cross as Yourself.
Teach me, to bear it with great humility that the Blessed Virgin
may fill me with the Holy Spirit.
Preserve my soul and lead it to life everlasting.
Amen.
Let us Pray
O God who willed that your Only Begotten Son, should undergo the Cross
to save the human race, grant we pray that, we who have known His mystery on earth, may merit the grace of His redemption in heaven.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son who lives, and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit one God for ever and ever.
Amen.
