Novena in honor of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross

[Cathleen]

O Jesus, Who by reason of Thy burning love for us hast willed to be crucified
and to shed Thy Most Precious Blood
for the redemption and salvation of our souls, look down upon us here gathered together in remembrance of Thy most sorrowful Passion and Death,
and grant the petition we ask for

...( mention here)

Fully trusting in Thy mercy;
cleanse us from sin by Thy grace,
sanctify our toil, give unto us and unto all those who are dear to us our daily bread, sweeten our sufferings,
bless our families, and to the nations so sorely afflicted, grant Thy peace,
which is the only true peace,
so that by obeying Thy commandments
we may come at last to the glory of Heaven.
Amen.
