O God the Father, of heaven,

O God the Son, Redeemer of the world,

O God the Holy Ghost,

By thy most bitter passion and death,

By thy sorrow and thine agony in the garden,

By thy thrice-repeated prayer,

By thy resignation of thy human will,

By thy sweat of Blood,

By thy harsh captivity,

By thy bonds and stripes,

By thy sacred Body buffeted and smitten,

By thy mockings and thine ignominy,

By the spitting upon thy adorable Face,

By the false judgment pronounced on thee by Caiphas,
