 most holy  life  and  innocent death, I humbly  beseech  thee to forgive  me  all  my  sins,  as readily  as  thou  forgavest  and promisedst paradise  to  the robber when  hanging  on  the cross. I now cast  all  my  sins into thy  deep  and  sorrowful wounds. Whatever I lack that is  requisite  to  my  contrition and  penance,  vouchsafe mercifully to  supply  out  of the  riches  of  thy  own  satisfactions and  merits,  and  of  all  the sorrows, pains,  and  labours which thou  didst  cheerfully undergo in  thy  most  holy body, and  didst  will  thyself to endure  for  us,  even  to  the bitterest death.

And as  thou,  the  fountain of all  mercy,  of  thy  love alone, and  with  the  sighs  of thy  inmost  heart,  didst  pray for thy  enemies,  nay  more, didst shed  thy  blood  for  thy very tormentors; so  make me an  unworthy  partaker  in thy  most  holy  life  and  passion. Let not  their  fruit  be  lost  to me,  but  let  me  be  delivered from all  my  sins,  and  the punishments I deserve  for them, and  devote  myself wholly and  entirely  to  thee, thy worship,  and  love.

Grant me,  O most  merciful Saviour,  never  again  to crucify  thee  by  my  sins,  but by the  virtue  and  merit  of thy  cross,  to  grieve  sincerely for my  past  sins,  valiantly  to overcome  present  temptations, and  henceforward  to hold  on  the  way  of  the  cross and of  penance,  and  to  persevere even  to  the  end  in  good works; for  to  thee  I desire to live,  and  in  thee  to  die.

To thee  I commend  my body  and  soul,  and  all  that I have, with  my  friends  and benefactors, both  living  and dead. O Jesus, son  of  David, have mercy  on  us,  and  make us all  resolutely  to  shun  sin, and fulfil  thy  commandments, to thy  greater  glory  and  our own salvation. Amen.

O Lord Jesus  Christ,  in union  with  thy  sorrow  with which thou  didst  undertake to advocate  the  cause  of  my sorrow,  and  to  find  a remedy for my  sins,  together  with all that  sorrow  and  are  truly penitent, and  that  seek  thee in truth,  I confess  to  thee  all my sins,  both  of  evil  done  and good left  undone,  or  done carelessly, or  without  a pure intention, just  as  they  are known to  thee  in  number, weight, and  measure,  with the lost  days  of  my  life,  in which  I have  offended  thee and detracted  from  thy  praise, and fallen  from  thee,  my highest  good  and  drawn  my neighbour  with  me  in  my  fall.

Accept then,  O Lord,  the years that  remain  to  me  out of this  my  wretched  life;  and for those  which  I have  lost  by my  misconduct,  despise  not,
