Y Lord,  Jesus  Christ! I humbly  adore  the  most sacred wound  of  thy  right  hand. 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 supplicate  thee  to  grant  me  a  firm  and  resolute  will, in all  things  relating  to  my  salvation. Bless me  with final perseverance  in  grace,  to  secure  the  enjoyment of that  glory,  which  was  purchased  at  the  price  of  thy most sacred  blood. Grant also,  my  Jesus! speedy peace and  repose  to  the  souls  in  purgatory. Cause thy holy  servants  in  this  world  to  make  daily  progress in perfection,  especially  those  who  are  of  this  confraternity.

Our Father,  &amp;c. Hail Mary,  &amp;c. Glory be  to  the Father, &amp;c.

Preserve in  thy  happy service all  Christian  kings  and  princes. Reduce into the way  of  salvation  all  those  that  are  gone  astray, whether through  malice  or  ignorance. Bring under
