O most sweet Jesus! praying to the Father in the garden, sorrowful even unto death, and sweating in an agony of grief. R. Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us.
O most sweet Jesus! delivered by the traitor's kiss into the hands of Thy enemies; seized and bound like a thief, and abandoned by Thy disciples. R. Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us.
O most sweet Jesus! by the unjust verdict of the Jews, found guilty of death, brought like a malefactor before the tribunal of Pilate, scorned and derided by impious Herod. R. Have mercy on us, etc.
O most sweet Jesus! stripped of Thy garments and most inhumanly scourged at the pillar. R. Have mercy on us, etc.
O most sweet Jesus! crowned with thorns, blindfolded, buffeted, struck with a reed, clothed in derision with a purple garment, and infinite other ways scorned and reviled. R. Have mercy on us, etc.
O most sweet Jesus! reputed more criminal than Barabbas the murderer; rejected by the Jews, and condemned to the ignominious death of the cross. R. Have mercy on us, etc.
O most sweet Jesus! loaded with a heavy cross, and like an innocent lamb led to the place of execution. R. Have mercy on us, etc.

O most sweet Jesus! dead upon the Cross and wounded in Thy side by a spear, in Thy Holy Mother's presence, whence issued forth water and blood. R. Have mercy on us, O Lord, have, etc.
O most sweet Jesus! taken down from the Cross, and bathed with the tears of Thy most sorrowful Mother. R. Have mercy, etc.
O most sweet Jesus! torn and bruised all over Thy Body, bearing the sacred marks of Thy Five most Precious Wounds! embalmed with spices and laid in the sepulchre. R. Have mercy on us, etc.
V. He truly bore our sorrows.
R. And He carried our grief.
Let us pray.
O God, who for the redemption of the world, vouchsafedst to be born of a virgin; to be circumcised; to be rejected by the Jews, betrayed with a kiss; bound like a malefactor and like an innocent lamb to be led to slaughter; to be ignominiously brought before Annas, Caiphas, Pilate, and Herod. to be accused by false witnesses, scourged with whips, buffeted, defiled with spittle, crowned with thorns, stripped of Thy clothes, fastened to the Cross, placed between two thieves, to have vinegar and gall given Thee to drink, to have Thy side pierced through with a spear: do Thou vouchsafe, O Lord, by these most grievous pains, which I, though most unworthy, do now commemorate, to free me from the pains of Hell, and conduct me whither Thy mercy did conduct the good thief crucified with Thee. Who together with the Father and the Holy Ghost livest and reignest for ever. Amen.
