Through this abyss of compassion and pity, and especially through the goodness which Thou
displayed to the good thief when Thou saidst to him: "This day, thou shalt be with Me in
Paradise." I beg of Thee, oh Sweet Jesus, that at the hour of my death, Thou wilt show me mercy.
Amen.

Sixth Prayer

Oh Jesus! Beloved and most desirable King, remember
the grief Thou didst suffer, when naked and like a common criminal, Thou was fastened and raised
on the Cross,
when all Thy relatives and friends abandoned Thee, except Thy Beloved Mother, who remained close to
Thee during Thy agony and whom Thou didst entrust to Thy faithful disciple when Thou saidst to
Mary: "Woman, behold thy son!" and to St. John: "Son, behold thy Mother!"

I beg of Thee oh my Saviour, by the sword of sorrow which pierced the soul of Thy holy Mother, to
have compassion on me in all my affliction and tribulations, both corporal and spiritual, and to
assist me mall my trials, and especially at the hour of my death. Amen.

Seventh Prayer

Oh Jesus! Inexhaustible Fountain of compassion, Who by a profound gesture of Love, said
from the Cross: "I thirst!" suffered from the thirst for the salvation of the human race. I
beg of Thee oh my Saviour, to inflame in our hearts the desire to tend toward perfection in all
our acts; and to extinguish in us the concupiscence of the flesh and the ardor of worldly
desires. Amen.
