Remember, O Lord, that during the Last Supper with Thy disciples havingwashed their feet, Thou gavest them Thy Most Precious Body and Blood,and while at the same time Thou didst sweetly console them, Thou didstfortell them Thy coming Passion. Remember the sadness and bitterness which Thou didst experience in ThySoul as Thou Thyself bore witness saying: "My Soul is sorrowful evenunto death." Remember all the fear, anguish and pain that Thou didst suffer in Thydelicate Body before the torment of the Crucifixion, when, after havingprayed three times, bathed in a sweat of blood, Thou wast betrayed byJudas, Thy disciple, arrested by the people of a nation Thou hadstchosen and elevated, accused by false witnesses, unjustly judged bythree judges during the flower of Thy youth and during the solemnPaschal season. Remember that Thou wast despoiled of Thy garments and clothed in thoseof derision; that Thy Face and Eyes were veiled, that Thou wastbuffeted, crowned with thorns, a reed placed in Thy Hands, that Thouwast crushed with blows and overwhelmed with affronts and outrages. In memory of all these pains and sufferings which Thou didst endurebefore Thy Passion on the Cross, grant me before my death truecontrition, a sincere and entire confession, worthy satisfaction andthe remission all my sins. Amen. Say one Our Father and one Hail Mary O Jesus! True liberty of angels, paradise of delights, remember thehorror and sadness which Thou didst endure when Thy enemies, likefurious lions, surrounded Thee, and by thousands of insults, spits,blows, lacerations and other unheard-of cruelties, tormented Thee atwill. In consideration of these torments and insulting words, I beseechThee, O my Savior, to deliver me from all my enemies, visible andinvisible, and to bring me, under Thy protection, to the perfection ofeternal salvation. Amen. Say one Our Father and one Hail Mary O Jesus! Creator of Heaven and earth Whom nothing can encompass orlimit, Thou Who dost enfold and hold all under Thy loving power,remember the very bitter pain Thou didst suffer when the Jews nailedThy Sacred Hands and Feet to the Cross by blow after blow with bigblunt nails, and not finding Thee in a pitiable enough state to satisfytheir rage, they enlarged thy Wounds, and added pain to pain, and withindescribable cruelty stretched Thy Body on the Cross, pulling Theefrom all sides, thus dislocating Thy limbs. I beg of Thee, O Jesus, by the memory of this most Loving suffering ofthe Cross, to grant me the grace to fear Thee and to Love Thee. Amen.
