THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever and ever. Amen.

C: Have mercy on us.
P: Behold the life-giving cross, on which was hung the Savior of the whole world.
C: Oh, come, let us worship him.
P: We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you.
C: By your holy cross you have redeemed the world.
