CROSS

 THE CROSS OF LIME

When the lime cross is laid out, the godparents should place five candles on
the cross; head, arms, feet and one on the left side and on the right side a
glass with water, there is a prayer that says:

SWEETEST JESUS, THROUGH YOUR DIVINE HEART OPEN TO THE

BLOW OF A SPEAR FROM WHICH BLOOD AND WATER FLOWED,
HAVE MERCY ON OUR BROTHER ( A ).

The cross should be a little big, so that there is time to pray while the head
is being picked up, so that the leader and the godparents finish together.

We pray in the order that the cross is raised, first the head #(1), then the
right arm #(2), then the left arm #(3) here the cross is cut, that is to say,
imagine that the center of the cross is the heart, so the two arms are
removed and a little square is left, that is the last one because it is the
heart.So the two arms are removed and a little square is left, this is the last
one because it is the heart, remember that they say that we have to pay a lot
of attention to the heart because that is where all the love that we have for
each other is kept. is where all the love that we were able to give is kept,
then you continue with the feet of the cross which is #(4) at the end of this
we raise the heart #(5) also the candles will be raised with the same order
and the heart #(6) will be raised with the same order and the candles will be
raised with the same order and the heart will be raised with the same order.
(5) also the candles will be raised with the same order and will be taken out
of the room without extinguishing, they will end by themselves, the flowers
that were left for the whole novena will also be taken out in this way we
will have said goodbye to the deceased.

Nothing should be left where the deceased was laid except the box with the
lime cross, the iron cross, a candle and the flowers with which the
attendants said goodbye to the deceased because if we leave things in the
same place it is as if we were inviting him to stay with us and he should go
to meet our CREATOR.

The godparents will be able to give the cross to their new compadres.

P.S. (You will tell the godparents when I begin to pray to pick up the head

2
you begin to pick it up, the godparents and only they must pick up the cross
that is to say they cannot help them, for this they will have to help
themselves with a spatula, or a toy dustpan, a brush and a clean and new
cloth to clean the floor where the cross was).

COMMENTS:

I would like to complement the raising of the cross with another important
moment: the godparents who will raise the cross must be the same ones who
have held the cross or at least have attended the rosaries, since the
compadrazgo must be respected as if it were a sacrament.

The godparents should buy a bouquet of flowers to be delivered along with

the cross, these flowers will serve for those present to say goodbye to the
deceased brother.

When the godparents hand over the cross they may hand it over with these
words.

THOSE WHO DELIVER

AVE MARIA IN THIS HOUSE.

THIS CROSS THAT I BRING
I ALREADY HAVE IT BLESSED.

THE NOVENA HAS PASSED

AND TODAY IS ANOTHER FAREWELL.

FRIENDSHIP AND AFFECTION

FOR OUR BROTHER( A )
TODAY HAS ALSO UNITED US.

RECEIVE THESE FLOWERS

AS A SIGN OF RESPECT AND AFFECTION .

COMPADRITOS DE MI VIDA WE ARE HONORED FOR THE HONOR

3
WE HAVE RECEIVED.

MAY THE PEACE OF GOD

THIS ONE WITH OUR BROTHER
AND MAY YOUR LOVE FILL HIM
OF HAPPINESS
IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.
AMEN.

WHO RECEIVES IT

THIS CROSS THAT I RECEIVE

I RECEIVE IT WITH RESPECT
AND WITH LOVE
AND I WOULD LIKE TO RECIPROCATE
WITH SERAPHS FROM HEAVEN
I TAKE THE FLOWERS IN MY HANDS
AND I SHAKE OFF THE DEW.
COMPADRITOS DE MI VIDA
TAKE OUT YOUR HEART
AND JOIN IT WITH MINE
BECAUSE OUR BROTHER'S LOVE
TODAY IT HAS ALSO UNITED US
GLORY TO THE FATHER ,
GLORY TO THE SON AND
GLORY TO THE HOLY SPIRIT. AMEN.

At the end of the words, the compadres will give each other a big hug
because it is also to be compared as when the godparents of the baptized
give the godchild to his or her parents.

A reading from the Gospel of Jesus Christ according to John (14.1-6):

Father's house there are many rooms; if it were not so, would I have told
you? I will prepare a place for you. And when I have gone and prepared a

you may be also. You know the way to where I'm going."

Thomas said to him - "Lord we do not know where you are going." How are
we to know the way?

Jesus answered him: "I am the way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to
the Father except through me".

This is the word of the Lord.

We praise you Lord.

SONG :

In your hands is my life, Lord

In your hands I place my existence,
it is necessary to die, to live in your
hands I entrust my being.

If the grain of wheat does not die, if

it does not die it will remain alone,
but if it dies in abundance it will
bear eternal fruit that will not die.

It is my longing my growing
longing, in the furrow with Thee to
die, and fruitful shall be the seed,
Lord clothed with eternal life.

And whether we live, we live unto

him; and whether we die, we die
unto him; whether we live or die,
we are the Lord's, we are the
Lord's.

When it shall bear fruit as an ear, in

the rays of burning heat, thy reign
shall have new life of love, in a
Host of eternal splendor.

Hail Mary Most Pure

Sinless conceived.
