194 my sins is on Thee, and bears Thee down beneath the Cross. I loathe them, I detest them, I call on Thee to pardon them; may Thy grace aid me never more to commit them.

Jesus most suffering! Mary, Mother most sorrowful! if for the past by sin I have caused you pain and anguish, yet, by God's assisting grace, it shall be so no more: rather be ye my love henceforth till death.

My Jesus, blest, thrice blest was he who aided Thee to bear the Cross. Blest shall I be, if I too aid Thee to bear the Cross, by patiently bowing my neck to the crosses Thou shalt send me during life. My Jesus, give me grace to do so.
