On the Cross
Kissing the crucifix, make the sign of the cross with it first on the lips,
then on the brow and breast, at the invocation of a leader.
Vs. O Lord, you will open my lips,
and my mouth shall declare your praise.
Rs. Incline unto mine aid, O God,
O Lord, make haste to help me.
Vs. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit.
Rs. As it was in the beginning, is now,
and ever shall be, world without end. Amen
Vs. Bless the lord, O my soul,
and all that is within me bless his holy name.
Rs. Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits.
On the first large pendent bead the leader leads with the verse:
Vs. Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name:
Rs. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done ...
The Angelus is said on the three small beads,
the leader leading with the verses:
Vs. The angel of the Lord declared unto Mary,
and she conceived by the Holy Spirit.
Hail Mary, hail Full of grace, the Lord is with thee:
Rs. Blessed art thou among women,
and blesséd is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, holy Mother of God, pray for us sinnners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen
Vs. Behold the handmaid of the Lord:
be it done unto to me according to his word.
Hail Mary, hail Full of grace, the Lord is with thee:
Rs. Blessed art thou among women ...
Holy Mary, holy Mother of God ....
Vs. And the Word became flesh,
and dwelt among us.
Hail Mary, hail Full of grace, the Lord is with thee:

Holy Mary, holy Mother of God .....
Vs. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit:
Rs. As it was in the beginning is now,
and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen
The leader recites the prayer.
Pour forth, we beseech you, O Lord, your grace into our hearts,
that we who have known the incarnation of Christ your Son
through the message of the angel,
may by his passion and cross be brought
to the glory of his resurrection.
Through the same Christ our Lord:
Rs. Amen
