Fac ut portem Christi
mortem,

Passionis fac consortem,
Et plagas recolere.

Fac me plagis vulnerari,
Cruce hac inebriari,
Ob amorem Filii :

Inflammatus et accensus, Per te Virgo sim defensus, In die judicii.

Fac me cruce custodiri, Morte Christi præmuniri, Confoveri gratia.

Quando corpus morietur, Fac ut animæ donetur Paradisi gloria. Amen.

sufferings share,

And his sweet cross de-
voutly bear,

V. Tuam ipsius animam pertransivit gladius.

For thy own Son's pure
love:

And, burning with love's
holy fire,

O screen me from the vengeful ire

Of my great Judge above.

May the bright cross my guardian be,

My Saviour's death de

fence to me,
And source of every grace.

And when my body meets
decay,
Obtain my soul in that
dread day

In paradise a place. Amen.

V. Thy own soul a sword hath pierced.

R. That out of many cogita- hearts thoughts may be revealed.

R. Ut revelentur ex multis cordibus cogitationes.

Who livest,

mam gloriosæ virginis et matris Mariæ doloris gladius pertransivit: concede propitius: ut qui transfixionem ejus et passionem venerando recolimus, gloriosis meritis et precibus omnium Sanctorum cruci fideliter astantium intercedentibus, passionis tuæ effectum felicem consequamur. Qui

Tibi soli peccavi, et malum coram te feci: *ut justificēris in sermonibus tuis, et vincas cum judi

Ecce enim in iniquitatibus conceptus sum: *et in peccatis concepit me mater mea.

ini

And according to the multitude of thy tender mercies, blot out my quity.

Wash me yet more from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

For I know my iniquity, and my sin is always before me.

To thee only have I sinned, and have done evil before thee: that thou mayst be justified in thy words, and mayst overcome when thou art judged.

For behold I was conceived in iniquities, and in sins did my mother con

ceive me.

For behold thou hast

Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed: thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.

Turn away thy face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.

Create a clean heart in me, O God: and renew a right spirit within my bowels.

Cast me not away from thy face, and take not thy holy spirit from me.

A sacrifice to God is an afflicted spirit: a contrite and humbled heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

Deal favourably, O Lord, in thy good-will with Sion, that the walls of Jerusalem may be built up.

Then shalt thou accept the sacrifice of justice, oblations, and whole burnt offerings: then shall they lay calves upon thy altar. Glory be to the Father &c.
