Collect of the Invention of the Holy Cross ~ See Note




V. O Lord, hear my prayer.
R. And let my cry come unto thee.
Let us pray.
O God, Who didst cause that the Cross of our salvation should in most honourable wise be found again, and Who didst manifest thereby the marvellous efficacy of thy sufferings, mercifully grant that by the Ransom which Thou didst pay upon that tree of life we may finally attain unto life eternal.
Who livest and reignest with God the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end.
R. Amen. 

Nota bene - Since the Holy Cross is not a Saint, I don't know if the Collect is indulgenced, but it can never hurt to honour the Instrument of our Redemption.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
