Let God arise, and let His enemies be scattered; and let those who hate Him flee from His face. As smoke vanisheth, let them vanish; as wax melteth before the fire, so let the demons perish from the presence of those who love God and who sign themselves with the sign of the cross and say in gladness: Rejoice, most honorable and life-giving Cross of the Lord, for thou drivest away the demons by the power of our Lord Jesus Christ Who was crucified on thee, Who went down to Hades and trampled on the power of the devil, and gave us thee, His honorable Cross, for the driving away of every adversary. O most honorable and life-giving Cross of the Lord, help me, together with the holy Sovereign Lady, the Virgin Theotokos, and with all the Saints, unto the ages. Amen.
Нека васкрсне Бог, и нека се развеју непријатељи Његови, и нека беже од лица Његова они који Га мрзе. Нека ишчезну као што ишчезава дим, као што се топи восак на домаку огња; тако нека изгину Ђаволи пред лицем оних који љубе Бога и осењују се крсним знаком, и који радосно говоре: Радуј се, пречасни и животворни Крсте Господњи, који прогониш ђаволе силом распетог на теби Господа на шег Исуса Христа, који је сишао у пакао и сатро силу ђаволску, и који нам је даровао тебе, Крст Свој часни, за прогнање свакога противника. О пречасни и животворни Крсте Господњи, помажи ми увек са Светом Владарком, Дјевом Богородицом, и са свима Светима занавек! Амин.
Guard me, O Lord, by the power of Thy holy and life-giving Cross, and keep me from all evil.
Remit, pardon, forgive, O God, our offenses, both voluntary and involuntary, in deed and word, in knowledge and ignorance, by day and by night, in mind and thought; forgive us all things, for Thou art good and the Lover of mankind.
