O MOST LOVING JESUS, MEEK LAMB OF GOD, I, A MISERABLE SINNER, SALUTE AND WORSHIP THE MOST SACRED WOUND OF THY SHOULDER ON WHICH THOU DIDST BEAR THY HEAVY CROSS, WHICH SO TORE THY FLESH AND LAID BARE THY BONES AS TO INFLICT ON THEE AN ANGUISH GREATER THAN ANY OTHER WOUND OF THY MOST BLESSED BODY. I ADORE THEE, O JESUS MOST SORROWFUL; I PRAISE AND GLORIFY THEE, AND GIVE THEE THANKS FOR THIS MOST SACRED AND PAINFUL WOUND, BESEECHING THEE BY THAT EXCEEDING PAIN, AND BY THE CRUSHING BURDEN OF THY HEAVY CROSS, TO BE MERCIFUL TO ME, A SINNER, TO FORGIVE ME ALL MY MORTAL AND VENIAL SINS, AND TO LEAD ME ON TOWARD HEAVEN, ALONG THE WAY OF THE CROSS. AMEN.
O MOST MERCIFUL JESUS, HELP ME TO BE A BETTER PERSON AND A BETTER CATHOLIC, AND TO LIVE MY LIFE ACCORDING TO THE GRACES GIVEN TO ME IN ALL THE HOLY SACRAMENTS I HAVE RECEIVED, FROM BAPTISM ONWARDS. NEVER LET ME BE A HINDRANCE TO OTHERS, AND LET ME STAND UP FOR THEE AND THE RIGHTEOUS LIFE I AM CALLED TO LIVE. SORROWFUL AND IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY, DEAR SAINT JOSEPH, MY HOLY GUARDIAN ANGEL AND ALL MY HOLY PATRONS, BE WITH ME AND PROTECT ME FROM ALL HARM AND LEAD ME ON THE RIGHT ROAD TO THE NARROW GATE. MY GOD, MY GOD, I LOVE THEE, IMPERFECTLY, BUT I LOVE THEE! AMEN.
