 not bruised  for  me,  I  will  no  longer  delight  in  indulging mine, but  live  in  the  practice  of  constant  mortification,  that so I  may  have  some  resemblance  to  Thee,  my  only  true  and sovereign good.

Our Father,  Hail  Mary,  Glory  be,  etc.

6. O  adorable  and  divine  blood,  shed  for  my  salvation, flow over  me,  to  wash  me,  to  purify  me,  to  sanctify  me:  flow over sinners,  that  they  may  be  reclaimed;  over  the  heathen, that they  may  be  enlightened;  over  the  perfidious  Jews, that they  may  be  softened;  over  all,  that  all  being  united  in the  same  faith,  in  the  same  hope,  and  in  the  same  charity, we may  reign  with  Thee  and  in  Thee,  in  that  charity  which shall subsist  for  ever.

Our Father,  Hail  Mary,  Glory  be,  etc.

7. O  Jesus,  my  Redeemer,  Who  wast  for  my  sake  nailed upon the  cross,  and  didst  shed  Thy  blood  to  free  me  from the slavery  of  the  devil;  I  thank  Thee  for  the  incomparable love which  Thou  hast  borne  me,  and  the  pain  which  Thou hast suffered  for  me.

For love  of  Thee,  I  crucify  myself  anew  on  the cross of  my  vows,  and  resolve  to  imitate  Thy  example  faithfully to  the  end  of  my  life. O good  Lord,  my  blessed  Saviour! By that  glorious  triumph,  which,  in  Thy  death,  Thou  didst achieve over  sin  and  hell,  and  by  that  throne  of  glory  to  which Thou wast  exalted  by  Thy  Eternal  Father  in  heaven:  grant that I  also,  in  the  hour  of  death,  may  triumph  over  all  my enemies,  and  come  at  last  with  Thee  to  the  joys  of  paradise. Yes, O  my  Jesus,  grant  me  this  grace  by  the  merits  of  Thine agony and  Thy  death  on  the  cross.

Our Father,  Hail  Mary,  Glory  be,  etc.

EHOLD, O  kind  and  sweetest  Jesus,  I  cast  myself upon my  knees  in  Thy  sight,  and  with  the  most  fervent desire  of  my  soul  I  pray  and  beseech  Thee,  to  impress
