O Christ, who for us didst take upon Thyself 
the yoke of the Cross and of death, 
so as to drive from us the power of death 
and to free us at the cost of Thy Blood, 
have mercy upon me, 
who am Thy most lowly servant, 
and grant me pardon for all my sins, 
and rescue from all evils me who lie prostrate before Thine adorable Cross, 
and mercifully establish me again in Thy benefits.

Amen.

[ALCUIN]
