    THE RACCOLTA

    Prayers Against a Plague


    PROTECTION AGAINST THE PLAGUE: A cross approved in 1575 by
    the fathers of the Council of Trent as protection against the
    plague; originally developed by St. Zacharias, Patriarch of
    Jerusalem in the early seventh century. Zacharias was held in
    captivity for many years by Chosroes, King of the Persians, who
    had also taken the True Cross from Jerusalem. Bishop and cross
    returned to the holy city together.

    The text refers to the prayer that should accompany its


    appropriate use. It can be placed over a threshold or a door, or
    possibly used in other contexts.

    O Cross of Christ, save me. Z. May zeal for your house free me. +
    The Cross conquers; the Cross reigns; the Cross rules; by the sign
    of the Cross free me, O Lord, from this plague.
    The Cross of Christ will expel the plague from this place and from
    my body. B. It is good to wait for the help of God in silence, that
    he may drive away this plague from me.

    I. I will incline my heart to performing your just deeds, and I will


    not be confounded, for I have called upon you. Z. I had zeal on
    occasion of the wicked; seeing the peace of sinners, I have hoped
    in you.

    The Cross of Christ puts demons to flight; corrupt air; and drives
    away the plague. S. I am your Salvation, says the Lord; cry out to
    me, and I will hear you, and I will liberate you from this plague.
    A. Abyss calls to abyss, and you have expelled demons by your
    voice; liberate me from this plague. B. Blessed the man who
    hopes in the Lord, and does not look upon vanities, and false
    extravagances.

    May the Cross of Christ, which was once the cause of scandal and
    indignity, and is now in glory and nobility, be for my salvation,
    and expel from this place the demon, and corrupt air, and plague
    from my body.
    Z. May zeal for the honor of God convert me before I die, and in
    your name, save me from this plague. + May sign of the Cross
    free the People of God, and those who trust in him, from the
    plague.

    H. Will this foolish people return to the Lord? Make good on your
    vows, offering a sacrifice of praise and faith to him, because he is
    able to liberate this place and me, from this plague; for whoever
    trusts in him will not be confounded.

    G. If I will not praise you, let me tongue stick to my throat and to


    my jaws; free those who hope in you; in you I trust; liberate me
    and this place, O God, from this plague, for your name has been
    invoked in prayer.

    F. At your death, O Lord, darkness fell over the whole earth; my


    God, render the power of the devil tenuous and dim, for it is for
    this that you have come, O Son of the living God: so that you
    might destroy the works of the devil with your power, drive out
    from this place and from me, your servant, this plague; and may
    the corrupt air depart from me into the outer darkness.

    Defend us, O Cross of Christ, and expel from this place the
    plague, and free your servant from this plague, you who are kind,
    and merciful, and of many mercies, and true.
    B. Blessed is he who does not look upon vanities, and false
    extravagances; on the day of evil the Lord will free him; Lord, I
    have trusted in you; free me from this plague. F. God has become
    my refuge; because I have trusted in you, free me from this
    plague.

    R. Look upon me, O Lord my God, Adonai, from the holy seat of
    your Majesty, and have mercy on me, and because of your mercy,
    free me from this plague. S. You are my Salvation: heal me, and I
    will be healed; save me, and I will be saved.
