Let us embrace one another in the sign of the Cross, and let's get to console the afflicted, clothe the poor, feed the hungry, visit the imprisoned, stroking the sick, to bring all the hope that never dies and does not disappoint, in all run to say: the Cross and the Saints will be your righteousness!

With sweet words of salvation, Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.
