The Cross teaches us to pray, 

to love God as we should.

Humility, Patience, Resignation
To maintain interior peace
it is necessary that our will be in accord with
and held firmly to the will of God.

Hail, O Cross, my only hope.

Only the Cross can lead to Heaven.

Protect me, O my God, for in You I take Refuge. 

You are my Master, you alone are my good.
based on Psalm 16:1-2 NAS

Garden of Prayer

The waters flow forth with joy from the Fountain of Salvation.

O, good Cross, so much love of my Savior 

do I receive when I hold you in my arms.

In the soul in a state of grace it is always springtime.

We must resign ourselves with love,

My Good Angel, help me to understand

the merits of the Cross.

It is not alone but in our relationships, 
our bonds of love, that we come to heaven.
