O Christ my true God, Who willingly accepted crucifixion for the resurrection of mankind, who dyed Your finger with blood through the crimson of the Cross, and through this Cross compassionately ordained forgiveness for me and all mankind, forsake me not when I am threatened with estrangement from You. Have compassion on me, O You Who alone are long-suffering. Help me to imitate Your way of living and imitate how You treated Your fellowmen. I know and believe that You underwent the Cross to make me aware that it is important how I live and how I treat my fellowmen. As I request Your help, O God, I offer my praise to You, Who I know to be Father, Son and Holy Spirit, not only now but forever and ever. Amen.
