 thou didst  vouchsafe  to  die  for  us,  in  order  to  consummate the  great  work  of  our  redemption. I unite  all  my actions  and  all  my  sufferings  to  this  adorable  mystery; and I  beseech  thee,  through  thy  divine  merits,  O  Jesus, to remember  me  at  the  hour  of  my  death  and  to  grant  me pardon  and  mercy.

Adore this sacred  wound,  from  which  flowed  forth  blood  and  water.

O my  Jesus,  grant  me  a  share  in  the  compassion  of  thy holy Mother;  arm  me  with  the  courage  of  thy  two  disciples against  human  respect;  but  above  all  give  me the  ardent  love  of  Mary  Magdalen,  in  order  that  I  may seek thee  until  I  have  found  thee  risen  again  to  die  no more.
