 Say Glory  be  to  the  Father, &c. three times,  in  honour  of the  precious  blood of  our  Lord;  Hail  Mary  once,  in  honour of our  Lady  of  Seven  Dolors;  and  Eternal  rest,  &c. for the souls  in  purgatory.

They who  recite  with  devotion  the  prayers  to  the  Five Wounds of  our  divine  Redeemer,  may,  every  day,  gain one hundred  days'  Indulgence;  and  those  who  recite  these prayers, at  least  ten  times  each  month,  may,  on  the  3d  of May,  and  the  14th  of  September,  gain  a  Plenary  Indulgence. They who  recite  these  prayers  daily,  from  Passion Sunday until  Holy  Saturday,  inclusively,  may,  each  day, gain seven  years  and  seven  times  forty  days'  Indulgence, and on  Easter  Sunday  a  Plenary  Indulgence.

ROSTRATE before  thee,  O  crucified  Jesus,  amiable Redeemer  of  my  soul! I confess,  with  bitten regret, that  I  have  most  ungratefully  offended  thee, and nailed  thee  to  the  cross  every  time  I  have  committed a  mortal  sin. O my  God,  infinite  Source  of all  perfection,  Sovereign  Goodness! thou art  worthy of all  my  affections,  for  the  innumerable  blessings, which thou  hast,  in  such  abundance,  continually  bestowed on  me. Oh! how unfortunate  I  am! I cannot undo what  I  have  done ;  but,  at  least,  I  am  sorry  for my sins,  and  I  detest  them  because  they  have  offended thee. O Infinite  Goodness! I humbly  cast  myself  at thy  sacred  feet,  and  I  desire  at  least  to  sympathize with thee  in  all  thy  sufferings  for  me,  to  thank  thee for thy  excessive  charity,  and  to  beg  thy  pardon,  not only with  my  lips,  but  from  the  bottom  of  my  heart.

MY divine  Saviour,  I  humbly  adore  the  sacred Wound of  thy. left foot,  and  I  feelingly  compassionate the  intense  pain  it  caused  thee. I thank thee
