O Christ, who hast bought us with Thy precious blood, save us who adore Thee as our God. Do Thou save us, who didst suffer for us hanging on the Cross. With that Cross we sign our foreheads and hearts, venerating Thee and this same holy sign, and begging that by its power Thou wilt shield us and protect us all the days of our life, and, snatching us from the fires of hell, wilt bestow on us the joys of the eternal resurrection. For this do we pray, O Saviour of the world, who with the Father and the Holy Spirit livest and reignest, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
O Redeemer of the world, by this sign of the Cross guard us from all evil chances. Thou who didst save Peter on the sea, have mercy on us.
