Eighth Prayer

  

Oh Jesus! Sweetness of hearts, delight of the spirit, by the bitterness of the vinegar and gall
which Thou didst taste on the Cross for Love of us, grant us the grace to receive worthily Thy
Precious Body and Blood during our life and at the hour of our death, that they may serve as
a remedy and consolation for our souls. Amen.

Ninth Prayer

Oh Jesus! Royal virtue, joy of the mind, recall the pain
Thou didst endure when, plunged in an ocean of bitterness
 at the approach of death, insulted, outraged by the Jews, Thou didst cry out in a loud voice
that Thou was abandoned by Thy Father, saying: "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me?"

Through this anguish, I beg of Thee, oh my Saviour, not to abandon me in the terrors and pains of
my death. Amen.

Tenth Prayer

Oh Jesus! Who art the beginning and end of all things, life and virtue, remember that for our sakes
Thou was plunged in an abyss of suffering from the soles of Thy Feet to the crown of Thy Head. In
consideration of the enormity of Thy Wounds, teach me to keep, through pure love, Thy
Commandments, whose way is wide and easy for those who love Thee. Amen.
