God, Who  sufferest none that  hope  in Thee  to  be  afflicted  overmuch, but  dost  listen  graciously  to  their  prayers; we render  Thee  thanks because Thou  hast  received our  supplications and vows,  and  we  most humbly beseech  Thee  that we may  evermore  be  protected from  all  adversities. Through Christ  our  Lord.

R. Amen.

ost merciful  Jesus! With a  contrite  heart  and penitent spirit  I  purpose  now  to  perform  this devotion in  honor  of  Thy  bitter  Passion  and  death. I adore  Thee  most  humbly  as  my  Lord  and  my  God. I thank  Thee  most  heartily,  my  divine  Saviour,  for the infinite  love  wherewith  Thou  didst  make  the  painful journey  to  Calvary  for  me,  a  wretched  sinner, and didst  die  upon  the  cross  for  my  salvation. I am truly  sorry  for  all  my  sins,  because  by  them  I  have offended Thee,  Who  are  infinitely  good. I detest them and  I  am  resolved  to  amend  my  life. Grant
