V.     We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you,
R.    because by your Holy Cross, you have redeemed the world.

V.    From all sin
R.    save us, O Lord.
V.    From lack of patience when we suffer,
R.    save us, O Lord.
V.    From seeing our neighbours as enemies,
R.    save us, O Lord.
V.    From the fear of suffering and death,
R.    save us, O Lord.
V.    He emptied himself, taking the form of a slave.
R.    He humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death.
V.    Help those who long for wealth and renown
R.    to strip themselves of worldly values.
A.    Glory be to the Father ...

A.    Forgive us our sins, O Lord, for you are rich in love and mercy.
V.    Lord Jesus, our crucified Saviour,
R.    have mercy on us, and pardon the Holy Souls in Purgatory.
