“This is a prayer which was supposed to be said by people who were leaving their native land in ancient times.”
This is a prayer which was supposed to be said by people who were leaving their native land in ancient times. It is not to be found in any prayerbook nowadays. Here it is: -
O Adorable Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, who died on the gallows tree for our lives. O Holy Cross of Christ see me in thought.
Holy Cross of Christ ward off from me all sharp repeating words.
Holy Cross of Christ ward off from me all things that are evil.
Holy Cross of Christ ward off from me all dangerous deaths and give me life everlasting.
Holy Cross of Christ ward off from me all my enemies visible and invisible.
O crucified Jesus of Nazareth have mercy on me, now, and for ever more. Amen.
