Light and Strength from the Holy Cross

Merciful Father, I praise you for the gift of the Holy Cross, a sign of love and hope.

Thank you for showing us, in Jesus, the way of salvation.

Support me in the difficult moments of this afternoon.

Renew my energy and my courage.

May the mystery of the Cross illuminate all my actions.

Grant me the strength to forgive and to serve with humility.

Keep me and those I love in the light of your grace.

Go with us and protect our steps.

Amen. 🌿
