Lord, have mercy on us, etc.
God the Father Omnipotent,
God the Son, our loving Redeemer,
God the Holy Ghost, our Paraclete,
Thrice Holy and Adorable Trinity, one God,
Heart of Jesus, dying,
Heart of Jesus, smitten with grief when the eyes of that desolate Mother met those of her mangled and dying Son,
Heart of Jesus, obedient unto the death of the cross,
Heart of Jesus, victim of atonement freely offered for our sins,
Heart of Jesus, giving birth to the children of thy Father's Will upon the cross,
Heart of Jesus, wounded on the altar of the Cross,
Heart of Jesus, speaking to us by all Thy Wounds,
Have mercy on us.
Heart of Jesus, pleading for us with the voice of Thy Precious Blood,
Heart of Jesus, disarming the divine justice, and praying for thy enemies,
Heart of Jesus, tormented with an insatiable thirst for man's salvation,
Heart of Jesus, shedding the very last drop of Thy Sacred Blood for us,
Heart of Jesus, sighing out Thy last breath in excruciating agony and desolation for love of us,
Heart of Jesus, consummating the work of our redemption,
Heart of Jesus, reconciling earth with heaven,
Heart of Jesus, special inheritance of crucified souls,
Heart of Jesus, hope of the dying,

Have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, etc.
V. May we breathe forth our souls for love of Thee, O Loving Heart!
R. Who with great love didst expire on the ignominious cross for our sake.
Let us Pray.
Sovereign Redeemer of man, whose Blessed Heart raised up on the Altar of the Cross, and all inflamed and consumed with the sacred fire of Thy love for us unworthy and ungrateful creatures, vouchsafedst to die for each one of us individually; send down thy Holy Spirit upon us, we beseech Thee, that our hearts being inflamed with the fire of the same Divine Charity, may be so happy as to desire and aspire after Thee alone during our lives, and to give Thee their last sighs and affections at the moment of death. Amen.
