 pains, and  injuries. O my Lord  Jesus,  by  the  memory and merit  of  all  that  bitter  pain  and  anguish,  before thou breathedst  thy  last  upon  the  cross,  vouchsafe  to grant  me,  before  my  death,  true  contrition,  entire confession, a flowing  fountain  of  tears,  full  satisfaction, and  plenary  remission  of  all  my  sins. Amen.

O most gracious  Lord  Jesus,  be  propitious  to  me a sinner.

Our Father,  etc. Hail Mary,  etc.

MOST sweet  Lord  Jesus,  ever  flowing  fountain of heavenly  delights,  remember,  I beseech  thee, that grief  and  sorrow  which  thou  didst  suffer  when  thy cruel enemies,  like  fierce  lions,  with  furious  and  dreadful looks,  compassing  thee  round  about,  did  tear  off thy hair,  spit  upon  thy  sacred  face,  smite,  buffet thee, and  with  all  manner  of  unheard-of  injuries, outrages, and  torments,  did  most  cruelly  and  basely blaspheme, scorn,  and  affront  thee. O most sweet Lord Jesus,  by  all  those  most  barbarous  and  inhuman outrages which  thou  didst  suffer,  vouchsafe  to  deliver me from  all  my  enemies,  visible  and  invisible,  that, protected under  the  shadow  of  thy  wings,  I may safely arrive  at  the  port  of  eternal  glory. Amen.

O most gracious  Lord  Jesus,  etc.

Our Father,  etc. Hail Mary,  etc.

MOST sweet  Lord  Jesus,  omnipotent  creator  and preserver of  the  world,  and  redeemer  of  mankind, who containest  both  heaven  and  earth  in  thy  hand, and whose  immensity  no  bounds  can  limit: remember, I beseech thee,  that  bitter  pain  and  anguish  which thou didst  endure,  when  the  perfidious  Jews  pierced thy delicate  and  tender  hands  and  feet  with  most rough and  blunt  nails,  stretching  them  forth  violently with cords  to  the  holes  they  had  made  in  the  cross.
