Toledo VisitationTime to Bury the Palm Crosses
Live + Jesus!
On May 3, the anniversary of the finding of the True Cross, the five small crosses that were made on Palm Sunday are blessed with a special prayer and then buried on our grounds–one in the house and the others on the four corners. This is done for protection from all evil. This has been our tradition for as long as any of the sisters can remember and today we continued it. The crosses were sent to the Sacristy yesterday for Father to bless this morning and this evening they were “planted.” Below is the prayer and explanation.
“At no time in the history of the Church was the true Cross of our dear Savior needed more to subdue His enemies than in these days. The wicked spirits dread and flee from this sign of four Redemption and from the Blessings of Holy Mother the Church. She blesses cro
sses on this day to protect us, our property and our crops against
these evil spirits who, as Saint John in his Apocalypse warns, are permitted to molest us. Plant one of these crosses (blessed twice: on Palm Sunday and on May 3rd, traditionally the feast of the finding of the Holy Cross) on each of the four corners of your property and keep one in your home. Testimonials of visible protection from these crosses are numerous.”
BLESSING OF CROSSES which are to be set in vineyards, fields, etc., on or about May 3
(Approved by the Congregation of Sacred Rites, Feb. 10, 1888)
P: Our help is in the name of the Lord.
All: Who made heaven and earth.
P: The Lord be with you.
All: And with your spirit.
Let us pray.
Almighty and everlasting God, Father of goodness and consolation, in virtue of the bitter suffering that Thy only- begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, endured for us sinners on the wood of the cross, bless + these crosses which your faithful will erect in their vineyards, fields and gardens. Protect the land where they are placed from hail, tornado, storm, and every assault of the enemy, so that their fruits, ripened for the harvest, may be gathered to Thy honor by those who put their hope in the Holy Cross of Thy son,our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with Thee eternally.
All: Amen.
I love this! I’ve never heard of this.
What if we did put the palms into across? How can we burry them??
I learned of this from a woman in an auto who gave me some palm crosses, sealed in plastic. I buried them on all 4 corners of the property, feeling a little odd at first, because I had never heard of this being done, but then simply continuing in faith, trusting God to protect our 100-year old rental home. Several years later, a “microburst” struck our area with the force of a tornado. The neighbors’ roofs were ripped off, and three 80-year old trees fell atop our house. They ruffled the shingles, and cracked the ceiling plaster (I know, I was upstairs when they landed, watching in horror as the window air conditioner slid in and out of the window frame from the force of the winds, and praying hard). When all calmed down, we went outside, and saw that one of those huge trees had GONE AROUND IN A CIRCLE to avoid the propane tank before falling on the house.
I had forgotten about the crosses until a friend said she knew why we were unharmed by the storm….”because of all the holy things you keep”. I am a definite believer in this sacramental now!
I am going to do these for my city, Melbourne, Australia.
There are many satanists here, including a few of them going to churches or possessing Church servants and using their bodies to do harmful things to the lay people, with the results, those lay people sued the churches with abuse claims.
One of those people charged by the lay people, was abusing the girl, on the altar, same exactly with the satanic devil rituals.
I think there must have been something wrong here, because the exact same ritual done by that church member with the satanic group.
Please pray for me dear Sisters and Priests and Brothers and all my Christian and Catholic brethren, so I will be able to do this prayers and blessings for my country, Australia, especially Melbourne. Just in case, I leave my country to others, so I would like to ensure that the country, Australia will be blessed and saved from the snares of the devils, through possessing all things here, including their own people.
GBU all!! JCBU all!!
I have buried my blessed palm, formed into crosses, on the four corners of our property for protection from harm and evil. God Bless our home. St. Michael, protect us.
