 severe in  the  path  of  goodness  entered  upon,  without  ever withdrawing myself  from  obedience  to  thy  divine  commandments. Our Father,  Hail  Mary,  Glory.

O my  Jesus,  I  adore  the  most  sacred  Wound  of  thy Left Hand;  I  compassionate  thy  bitter  sufferings. I thank thee  for  having  averted  with  such  love  the  scourges and the  everlasting  condemnation  due  to  my  sins. I offer to the  Eternal  Father  the  sorrow  and  the  love  of  thy most sacred. Humanity; and  entreat  him  that  I  may spend the  remainder  of  my  life  profitably,  in  bringing forth fruits  worthy  of  penance,  and  thus  disarming  his irritated justice.

Our Father,  Hail  Mary,  Glory.

O my  Jesus,  I  adore  the  most  sacred  Wound  of  thy Bight Hand;  I  compassionate  thy  bitter  sufferings. I thank thee  for  having  loaded  me-  with,  ever-increasing benefits; notwithstanding  my  miserable  want  of  correspondence with  them. I offer  to  the  Eternal  Father  the sorrow and  the  love  of  thy  most  sacred  Humanity,  entreating him  to  change  my  heart  and  affections,  and  to enable  me  to  perform  all  my  actions  according  to  his good pleasure.

Our Father,  Hail  Mary,  Glory.

O my  Jesus,  I  adore  the  most  holy  Wound  of  thy sacred Side;  I  compassionate  thee  for  that  bitter  insult. I thank  thee  for  the  love  which  presented  thy  Breast and Heart  to  the  thrust,  and  gave  up  the  last  drops  of blood  and  water  for  my  plentiful  redemption. I offer to the  Eternal  Father  the  outrage  and  the  love  of  thy most sacred  Humanity,  that  my  soul,  having  once  entered into  that  most  loving  Heart,  so  ready  and  willing to receive  the  worst  of  sinners,  may  go  out  no  more  for ever.

Our Father,  Hail  Mary,  Glory.
