MERCY SUNDAY

ON MERCY SUNDAY THE CROSS WAS BLESSED

BY FATHER (name) AS YOU DID REQUEST.

TO GOD YOU MADE THIS DEDICATION

OF PRAISE AND FOR HIS VENERATION.

AS YOU PREPARE TO BREAK THE GROUND,
GOD'S ANGELS THIS CROSS WILL SURROUND.
AND AS THIS CROSS IS SET IN PLACE,
YOU'LL SHARE GOD'S LOVE IN HIS EMBRACE.

THOSE WHO WILL COME THEY TOO WILL SEE
GOD'S SPLENDOR AND HIS MAJESTY.
AS THEY JOIN IN PRAYER TO PRAISE THE LORD,
THEY WILL BE GUIDED BY HIS WORD.
