O God, who for the redemption of the world, was pleased to be born in a stable and to die upon a cross; O Lord Jesus Christ, by your holy |sufferings which we your unworthy servants, call to mind: by your Holy Cross and by your death, deliver us from the pains of hell, and vouchsafe to conduct us whither you did conduct the good thief who was crucified with you, who lives and reigns eternally in heaven.

Sweet the wood, sweet the nails, sweet the burden which you bear, for you alone, O Holy Cross, was worthy to bear the King and the Lord of Heaven.
Amen.
