Text: Sunday after the Exaltation of the Holy Cross - First Antiphon
First Antiphon:
My God, my God, look upon me, why have You forsaken me? Why can’t my sinful words reach You, my salvation.
Through the prayers of the Mother of God, O Saviour save us.
When I cry to You during the day, O my God, You do not listen, and there is no rest for me at night.
Through the prayers of the Mother of God, O Saviour save us.
Nonetheless You are there in the holy place, O Israel’s boast.
Through the prayers of the Mother of God, O Saviour save us.
Glory be . . . now and forever . . . : Only Begotten Son
