Third Prayer:
Our Father....
Hail Mary.....
O Jesus! Creator of Heaven and Earth,
Whom nothing can encompass or limit,
Thou Who dost enfold and hold all
under Thy loving power, remember the
very bitter pain Thou didst suffer
when the Jews nailed Thy Sacred Hands
and Feet to the Cross by blow after blow
with big blunt nails, and not finding Thee
in a pitiable enough state to satisfy their rage,
they enlarged Thy Wounds, and added pain to pain,
and with undescribable cruelty stretched
Thy Body on the Cross, pulled Thee from all sides,
thus dislocating Thy Limbs.
I beg of Thee, O Jesus, by the memory of this
most Loving suffering of the Cross,
to grant me the grace to fear Thee
and to Love Thee.
Amen.
