 necessities, sorrows,  and  sufferings,  both  spiritual and corporal. Amen.

O most blessed  Lord  Jesus,  etc.

Our Father,  &amp;c. Hail Mary,  etc.

BESEECH thee,  O Lord  Jesus  Christ,  that  thy  passion may  be  my  strength,  by  which  I may  be  fortified, protected,  and  defended; thy  wounds  be  to  me food  and  drink,  by  which  I may  be  fed,  inebriated and delighted; the  sprinkling  of  thy  blood  be  the washing away  of  all  my  sins; thy  death  be  to  me everlasting  glory. In these  be  to  me  refreshment, exultation, health,  study,  joy,  desire  of  soul  and  body, now and  for  ever. Amen.

O Lord Jesus  Christ,  Son  of  the  living  God,  put  thy passion, thy  cross  and  thy  death,  between  thy  judgment and  my  soul,  now  and  in  the  hour  of  my  death. Mayst thou  vouchsafe  to  extend  to  me  grace  and mercy, pardon  to  the  living,  rest  to  the  dead,  peace to thy  Church,  and  life  and  eternal  glory  to  all  sinners, who  livest  and  reignest  with  God  the  Father, in the  unity  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  for  ever  and  ever. Amen.

O Holy Mary,  most  sorrowful  Mother,  by  the sword of  grief  which  pierced  thy  soul,  obtain  for  us the  fruit  of  the  blood  of  thy  Son  Jesus  Christ,  now and at  the  hour  of  our  death. Amen.
