Behold the Cross of the Lord |
Popular tradition maintains that this little prayer was given by St. Anthony to a poor woman who was troubled by temptations. It has been popular prayer amongst Franciscans for centuries. Pope Sixtus V, a Franciscan himself, had the prayer carved at the base of the obelisk, which he erected in St. Peter's Square in Rome in 1585. |
| Ecce Crucem Domini! Fugite partes adversae! Vicit Leo de tribu Iuda, Radix David! Alleluia! |
Behold the Cross of the Lord! Be gone all evil powers! The Lion of the tribe of Judah, The root of David has conquered! Alleluia! |
