Eleventh Prayer
Oh Jesus! Deep abyss of
mercy, I beg of Thee, in memory of Thy Wounds which penetrated to the
very marrow of Thy Bones and to the depth of Thy being, to draw me, a miserable
sinner,
overwhelmed by my offenses, away from sin and to hide me from Thy Face justly
irritated against
me, hide me in Thy Wounds, until Thy anger and just indignation shall have
passed away. Amen.
Twelfth Prayer
Oh Jesus! Mirror of
Truth, symbol of unity, link of Charity, remember the multitude of wounds
with which Thou
was covered from head to foot, torn and reddened by the
spilling of Thy adorable Blood. Oh Great and Universal Pain which Thou didst
suffer in Thy virginal
Flesh for Love of us! Sweetest Jesus! What is there that Thou couldst have done
for us which Thou
hast not done! May the fruit of Thy sufferings be renewed in my soul by the
faithful remembrance of
Thy Passion, and may Thy Love increase in my heart each day, until I see Thee in
eternity, Thou Who
art the treasury of every real good and every joy, which I beg Thee to grant me,
oh Sweetest Jesus,
in Heaven. Amen.
Thirteenth Prayer
Oh Jesus! Strong Lion,
Immortal and Invincible King, remember the pain which Thou didst endure when
all Thy strength, both moral and physical, was entirely exhausted, Thou didst
bow Thy Head, saying:
"It is consummated!"
