Let us pray.
Adorable Saviour! whose Sacred Heart, overwhelmed with anguish, didst bitterly bewail and sigh over the criminal sins of the majority of mankind; grant, we earnestly implore, by the infinite merits of Thy Sacred Passion, that our hearts being assimilated to Thine, we may hold in contempt and abhorrence the allurements of the world and the flesh, in order to suffer with Thee; and may we so labour and suffer in Thy sweet service as to merit on one day a larger share in that glory which Thou hast purchased for us at so dear a price, who, together with the Father and the Holy Ghost, liveth and reigneth, one God for ever and ever. Amen.
