The holy Cross of the Lord, drive me back! Never teach me vain things. You are the Cross of Christ; drive me back, hostile powers! Let God arise, and let His enemies be scattered; let those who hate Him flee before Him. As smoke vanishes, so let them vanish; as wax melts before the fire, so let the sinners perish before the face of God. Amen.
