 sacred wound  of  thy  Right Hand, forgive,  I most  humbly implore thee,  all  my  bad  and sinful deeds,  and  out  of  its merit make  at  the  same  time full restitution  for  whatever I have sinned  in  by  omission, through culpable  negligence in any  kind  of  obligation  whatsoever; and  enable  me  henceforth to  lay  out  to  better  profit the  talents  which  thou  hast intrusted  to  me. Amen. ''Our Father. Hail Mary. ''

Most sweet  Jesus,  by  the wound of  thy  Left  Hand,  forgive my  anger  and  sudden impulses of  impatience  and wrath, into  which  I often, on the  least  provocation,  too rashly and  thoughtlessly  break out: and out  of  the  heavenly store of  that  wound  administer to  me  the  medicine  of true  patience  in  all  adversities, that  I may  merit  to  possess the  land  of  the  living, which is  promised  to  the meek.

Amen.

Most merciful  Father,  I offer  to  thee  the  wound  and Blood, the  labours  and  sorrows of  the  Right  Hand  of thy  only-begotten  Son,  to  be set  against  my  disobedience and rebellion,  most  earnestly praying thee  to  infuse  into me, from  it,  the  spirit  of  most perfect obedience,  by  which  I may  execute  as  promptly  the bidding of  thy  good  pleasure, as a shadow  follows  the  mo-
