 print in  my  soul  deep,  I pray  thee,  the  lasting memory of  thy  most  bitter  pains.

Our Father,  etc. Have mercy,  etc.

V. We  adore  thee,  O Christ,  and  bless  thee.

R. Because  by  thy  holy  cross  thou  hast  redeemed the world.

My Jesus,  often  have I  sinned, and  by  sin  often  made thee fall  beneath  the  cross. Help me  to  use  such efficacious means  of  grace,  that  I may  never  fall  again into sin.

Our Father,  etc. Have mercy,  etc.

V. We  adore  thee,  O Christ,  and  bless  thee.

R. Because  by  thy  holy  cross  thou  hast  redeemed the world.

My Jesus,  who  didst  comfort  the  pious  women  of Jerusalem,  who  wept  to  see  thee  so  tormented,  comfort my  soul  with  thy  mercy,  for  in  thy  mercy  alone is my  sole  trust. Oh, may  I never  frustrate  it!

Our Father,  etc. Have mercy,  etc.

V. We  adore  thee,  O Christ,  and  bless  thee.

R. Because  by  thy  holy  cross  thou  hast  redeemed the world.

My Jesus,  by  all  the  bitter  pains  thou  didst  endure, when a third  time  thou  didst  fall  beneath  the  heavy cross, oh! never, never  let  me  fall  away,  but  rather let me  die  than  ever  mortally  sin  again !

Our Father,  etc. Have mercy,  etc.
