Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross

Antiphon (mantra) repeat quietly:
We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you, for by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.

Psalm 119 (Kaph)
I yearn for your saving help;
I hope in your word.
My eyes yearn to see your promise.
When will you comfort me?

Though parched and exhausted with waiting,
I remember your decrees.
How long must I suffer?
When will you judge my foes?

In defiance of your law
the proud have dug pitfalls for me.
Your commands are all true.
Help me when lies oppress me.

They almost made an end of me,
but I kept your precepts.
In your love give me life,
and I will do your will.

Pray the Prayer of Jesus (Our Father)
