May God rise again, and may His enemies be scattered, and may those who hate Him flee from His presence. Like smoke disappears, let them disappear; As wax melts in the face of fire, so let demons perish on behalf of those who love God and sign themselves with the sign of the cross, and say in joy: Rejoice, Most Honest and Life-Giving Cross Lord, drive away the demons by the power of our drunken Lord Jesus Christ, who descended into hell and trampled upon the power of the devil, and who gave us to you His Honest Cross to drive out everyone adversary. Oh, Most Honest and Life-Giving Cross of the Lord! Help me with the Holy Virgin Mary and with all the saints forever. Amen.

O venerable and life-giving Cross of the Lord, help me with the holy Lady, the Virgin Mother of God and with all the saints forever. Amen.
Or: Protect me, Lord, by the power of Your Honest and Life-giving Cross, and save me from all evil.
Or briefly: Protect me, Lord, by the power of the sacred and life-giving Cross and save me from all evil.
When you go to sleep, say: In your hands, Lord Jesus Christ, my God, I commend my spirit: bless me, have mercy on me, and grant me eternal life. Amen.
