Pope Francis composed this beautiful prayer for recitation on Good Friday of 2016. In O Cross of Christ, you will recognize Jesus' cross in some of the most distressing circumstances in today's world, as well as in the lives of people who do great good. With permission, short responses have been added after each section of the prayer, enabling it to be used as a litany if desired. O Cross of Christ is valuable for praying individually, with a family, a small group, or parish-wide. Thought provoking, black-and-white art by Deborah Luke accompanies each page of this thirty-two page book.
