severe in the path of goodness entered upon, without ever withdrawing myself from obedience to thy divine commandments. Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory.
THE WOUND OF THE LEFT HAND.
O my Jesus, I adore the most sacred Wound of thy Left Hand; I compassionate thy bitter sufferings. I thank thee for having averted with such love the scourges and the everlasting condemnation due to my sins. I offer to the Eternal Father the sorrow and the love of thy most sacred. Humanity; and entreat him that I may spend the remainder of my life profitably, in bringing forth fruits worthy of penance, and thus disarming his irritated justice.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory.
THE WOUND OF THE BIGHT HAND.
O my Jesus, I adore the most sacred Wound of thy Bight Hand; I compassionate thy bitter sufferings. I thank thee for having loaded me- with, ever-increasing benefits; notwithstanding my miserable want of correspondence with them. I offer to the Eternal Father the sorrow and the love of thy most sacred Humanity, entreating him to change my heart and affections, and to enable me to perform all my actions according to his good pleasure.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory.
THE WOUND OF THE SACRED SIDE.
O my Jesus, I adore the most holy Wound of thy sacred Side; I compassionate thee for that bitter insult. I thank thee for the love which presented thy Breast and Heart to the thrust, and gave up the last drops of blood and water for my plentiful redemption. I offer to the Eternal Father the outrage and the love of thy most sacred Humanity, that my soul, having once entered into that most loving Heart, so ready and willing to receive the worst of sinners, may go out no more for ever.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory.
