Page:Revelations of St. Bridget, on the life and passion of Our Lord, and the life of His Blessed Mother (IA RevelationsOfStBridget).pdf/150



O Jesus, amiable king, and most desirable friend, remember the sorrow thou hadst, when thou didst hang naked and wretched on the cross, and all thy friends and acquaintances stood over against thee, and thou didst find no comforter, except alone thy beloved Mother, most faithfully standing by thee in bitterness of soul, whom thou didst commend to thy disciple, saying, “ Woman, behold thy son I beseech thee, merciful Jesus, by the sword of grief which then pierced thy soul, to have compassion on me in all my tribulations and afflictions, bodily and spiritual, and give me comfort in time of tribulation and at the hour of my death. Amen.

''Our Father. Hail Mary.''

O Jesus, fountain of inexhaustible mercy, who from intense feeling didst exclaim on the cross, “I thirst,” thirsting for the salvation of the human race; inflame, we beseech thee, the desires of our hearts to every perfect work, and entirely cool and extinguish in us the thirst of carnal concupiscence and the heat of worldly delight. Amen.

''Our Father. Hail Mary. ''
