Day 1
-
O Jesus, who didst pray for Thy enemies when they crucified Thee, forgive my sins, as I forgive all those who have offended me. Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be, &c.
-
O Jesus, who on the cross didst promise to the good thief that Thou wouldst take Him with Thee to paradise, give me, a miserable sinner, also a place in Thy kingdom. Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be, &c.
-
O Jesus, who didst recommend Thy beloved disciple to Thy Blessed Mother, place me also under her protection, and make me worthy of such a Mother, in life and at the point of death. Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be, &c.
-
O Jesus, who for Thy most ardent love of suffering wast abandoned by Thy Father in the midst of Thy bitterest agonies, oh! forsake me not at the hour of my death; be with me, I entreat Thee, that I may not be subdued by my enemies, and grant me a secure place in Thy most holy wounds. Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be, &c.
-
O Jesus, who in Thy most intense thirst wouldst drink only gall and vinegar, excite in my heart an ardent thirst for my own salvation and for Thy glory. Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be, &c.
-
O Jesus, who didst consummate by Thy death the work of our redemption; give me grace to consummate before I die all that Thou hast appointed for me to do, for Thy honour, and my salvation. Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be, &c.
-
O Jesus, who in dying didst remit Thy spirit into the Hands of Thy Heavenly Father, receive mine into the hands of Thy Mercy, when I shall have breathed my last sigh. Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be, &c.
