Exhaltation of the Cross novena

It is a special time of the year as I remember Labor Day 2009 to September 14th. During this time, my Mother was preparing to see God, and she truly was carrying a heavy cross! A tradition is falling into place to pray a Exaltation of the Holy Cross novena during these nine days leading up to the 14th. I am confident there is a special grace present for our family as we remember Grandma. Pray for us, Mom! - we need your intercession.

Here is the novena.

Here is the chaplet of the Way of the Cross.
