PRAYER.
O MOST sweet Lord Jesus, omnipotent Creator of the world, and Redeemer of mankind, who containest both heaven and earth in Thy hand, and whose mercy no bounds can limit, remember, I beseech Thee, that bitter pain and anguish Thou didst endure, when Thy cruel executioners pierced Thy tender hands and feet with most rough and blunt nails, stretching them forth violently with cords to the holes which they had made in the Cross, and piercing Thy blessed side with a spear, causing thereby the last drop of Thy Precious Blood to issue forth. O most sweet and gracious Jesus, by the memory of all those pains and torments on the Cross, vouchsafe to grant me . . . . and before my death true contrition, entire confession, and full remission of my sins. Amen.
