 factor, like an innocent lamb, led to slaughter, ignominiously brought before Annas, Caiphas, Pilate and Herod, accused by false witnesses, scourged with whips, buffetted, defiled with spittle, crowned with thorns, stripped of thy clothes, fastened to the cross, placed between two thieves ; to have vinegar and gall given thee to drink, and thy side pierced through with a spear: mayest thou, O Lord! by these most grievous pains, which I, though unworthy, do commemorate, and by thy most sacred death, and passion, free me from the pains of hell, and conduct me, whither thy mercy conducted the good thief, crucified with thee, who, together with the Father, and the Holy Ghost, livest and reignest for ever. Amen.

Let us adore the five most sacred wounds of Christ, our Lord, and each one in particular, with an assured confidence of obtaining, all blessings through his passion and death, offered for us to his eternal Father. We will also condole with the most holy Mother of Christ, whose soul was pierced with the sword of grief, standing under the cross of her beloved Son. We will likewise praise and magnify the most blessed Trinity, for so great and incomprehensible a benefit.

Y Lord, Jesus Christ! I humbly adore the most sacred wound of thy left foot. I render thee thanks for that cruel pain, suffered with so great love and charity. I feelingly compassionate thy torments, and the excessive grief of thy most afflicted Mother. I humbly beg pardon for all my sins, which I lament more than all imaginable evils, because they offend thee, O infinite goodness! And I resolve never more to sin. O! bring all sinners with me, to a true conversion, and give them light to discover the heniousness, the enormity, and brutality of a mortal crime.
