1. The Word was made flesh, and dwelt amongst us.
Eternal Word, made man for love of us, humbly kneeling at thy feet, we adore thee with the deepest veneration of our soul; and in order that we may repair our ingratitude for this great benefit of thy Incarnation, we unite ourselves to the hearts of all those who love thee, and together with them we offer thee our humble loving thanksgiving. Touched with the "great humility, goodness, and sweetness which we behold in thy divine Heart, we beseech thee to give us thy grace, that in our lives we too may imitate these virtues so dear to thee.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory.
2. He was crucified also for us, suffered under Pontius Pilate, and was buried.
Jesus, our loving Saviour, humbly kneeling at thy feet, we adore thee with the deepest veneration of our soul; and in order that we may give thee proof of the sorrow we feel for our insensibility to the outrages and sufferings which thy loving Heart made thee undergo for our salvation in thy painful Passion and death, we here unite ourselves with the hearts of all those who love thee, and together with them we give thanks unto thee with our whole soul. We wonder at the boundless patience and the generosity of thy divine Heart; and we entreat thee to fill our hearts with such a spirit of Christian penance as may enable us courageously to embrace suffering, and to make thy Cross our great comfort and all our glory.
Our Father, &c ,
3. Thou didst give them bread from heaven to eat, containing in itself all sweetness.
